toronto plane crash
Air France's plane crash-landed on the Toronto Pearson airport runway this afternoon during a thunderstorm. Thank chances all 300+ people on board walked out of the now-incinerated aircraft alive.

From what I could gather of all the news sources, the plane was trying to land in zero visibility, found out it was too high when it was over the runway, descended suddenly, the tail struck the ground, bounced twice, blew out the tires, could not come to a stop, overshot the runway by about 200 metres, crashed into a ravine and started burning.

so glad everyone got out of the plane in time.
