Just saw the news.Air France A-340 crashed(over-run the runway)after landing at fair weather,at Toronto's Pearson Intl.All pax escaped untuched.
God by their side......;D
EHM-0948 Bruno:
I saw it too on the news. But they said that the airplane was hit by a lightning bolt.... :(
EHM-1511 Theodore:
We'll see,let the time pass.
I download real weather from Jeppesen and the weather was:
clouds at 1100ft visibility 8km w/speed 8kts
It seems good exept the w/speed
EHM-1511 Theodore:
Sorry,w/speed was 15 kts not 8 kts
EHM-1539 Pierre:
Was waken up at 2 in the morning by Air France who wanted to speak to my mom (who is part of the volunteers for the crisis cell).
Seems like it got a power failure due to the lightning bolt 1 minute before landing.
No deads, just 14 minor wounded it seems. Thank god.
