Aircraft On Fire At Pearson

[Duster]

Hey all. Just got word that a plane has skidded off the runway either on takeoff or landing at Pearson, just a half hour ago. It's all over the news. Aircraft is on fire, that's all they're saying.

 

Just wanted to a) put the word out for those who aren't near a TV or radio.

 

and b - find out if there's any info from those who might be in the know of what's going on out there...

CBC is reporting Air France A340 - CTV is reporting Lufthansa B737. Nothing like rampant speculation! :down: Fingers crossed for all involved

Ignore my post here and go over to Fixed Wing Operations section. There's a thread there which has more info than this one.
