NTSB narrative
On June 19, 2009, a Boeing 767-300, registration SP-LPA, operated by LOT Polish Airlines (flight number LOT 2) departed O'Hare International Airport, Chicago, Illinois (ORD) destined for Warsaw, Poland. In the vicinity of North Bay, Ontario, Canada, while cruising at FL 330, the aircraft experienced a sudden and uncommanded overspeed condition, stick shaker, and illumination of the left and right electronic engine control (EEC) caution lights. A similar condition occurred again in a holding pattern as the airplane burned off excess fuel prior to making an uneventful landing at Lester B. Pearson International Airport, Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
The event is being investigated by the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada. All inquiries should be directed to the TSB at:

Explicit event totals are used without summing aircraft injury tables; onboard allocation is withheld. Unknown values remain unknown. The operation category is mapped from the NTSB-reported FAR part and has not been reviewed.
- Filled from the NTSB case API where the bulk record had no value: damage. Values present in the bulk record are kept.
- The date is the local date, which is the same as the UTC date the NTSB stores.
