That's why we have the TSB.
If you bothered to read what I just posted from the TSB report you might have read that the first 747 crash had nothing to do with Halifax and everything to do with the operator and crew.
There is no need to get Hysterical. You sound like you're drooling over the fact that Halifax's airport has had more accident's than Moncton's airport and therefore Moncton would benefit from this. Ridiculous.
Halifax Stanfield see's a ton of transatlantic jumbo jet diversions that choose Halifax over Moncton to land in the case of emergencys. Halifax Stanfield has a great reputation because of this, and let's not forget this:

New York LaGuardia Airport
On January 15, 2009, US Airways Flight 1549, an Airbus A320 departing for Charlotte/Douglas International Airport ditched in the Hudson River after losing both engines as a result of multiple bird strikes at an altitude of 3,000 feet (910 m); all 150 passengers and 5 crew members successfully evacuated.
On July 22, 2013, Southwest Airlines Flight 345, a Boeing 737-700 registration N753SW, from Nashville performed a hard landing that collapsed the nose gear of the aircraft. Nine people were injured and the plane was written off as a total loss.
On March 5, 2015, Delta Air Lines Flight 1086 from Atlanta skidded off the runway on landing in snowy weather. The McDonnell Douglas MD-88 operating the flight, N909DL, was severely damaged. Twenty-four people sustained minor injuries during evacuation via the emergency chutes.
On October 27, 2016, a Boeing 737-700 operated by the new Eastern Air Lines as flight 3452—carrying Mike Pence, then the Republican Vice Presidential nominee and the Governor of Indiana—skidded off Runway 22 after landing. The aircraft was ultimately stopped by the EMAS bed just before the Grand Central Parkway. No one was injured in the incident.
