Air France A-340 down in YYZ

[VampyreGTX]

They're saying at least about 60 survivors at the moment.

Latest I heard is that the CA & FO and multiple passengers and crew (hopefully a great many) survived and have been taken away.

 

[rumpletumbler]

haha...Sheperd Smith just said "we can only assume that the plane had less fuel when it arrived in Toronto than it did when it left France." lol......

"The wings don't know how fast your going across the ground, they only know how fast your going thru the air."

Anyone catch that doozy of an explanation?

That guy is an idiot!!

"When the plane encounters windshear the pilot reduces the power because of the increase in headwind......."

"The pilots had getthereitis"

 

[GuinessGuy]

A witness is claiming that he saw the aircraft struck by lighting on the rollout!!!!!!!!!

 

[Flechas]

I sent an email to CNN to tell that Miles dude to shut up, what a tool, and I think he's spoting wood right now, he's the "aviation expert".

 

[lowtimeguy]

Who is messin' with my head moving this thread back and forth???

 

[skyaddict]

Can't they dig up Nance or anyone with half a brain? Nuts.

That CNN putz Miles O'Brien needs to be beaten, severely.

Hello all. Not having flown this type of plane, but having around 1100 total time, I am sure many of you know, that it is NOT ATC's fault this plane landed. You are taught from the start of your training, that you can decline a clearance or an approach if weather is that bad for you to make a landing. I am curious why this plane did infact continue an approach. Also, was this the only plane at the time coming in to land? We just don't know. Watching MSNBC, because I feel Robert Hager is a very knowledgable person when it comes to these situations. FOX doesn't have someone like Mr. Hager/.

 

[PAPA FOX!]

Global TV is reporting "no fatalities." Hope they're right but would be shocked if everyone was that lucky. CA and FO have survived.

Maybe because the Capt thought it was OK............

....although the view through the bottom of his bong may have distorted the light a little bit.

Fox News is interviewing someone who just got there Private pilot license, asking for their "professional" opinion.

I just heard this too - LMAO!

I swear, if I ever have a daughter, I'd rather her tell me that she wants to be a two dollar hooker than a journalist.

 

[bigD]

LOL - this private pilot's wisdom about head winds vs. tail winds is priceless.

LOL.... I agree.... what a bunch of idiots......

He told them that if there is a tailwind, that a wing can't fly.......

 

[Tripower455]

Wow, I didn't know that ATC could see lightning strikes on their radar! Magic radar!
