An Air France A343 has skidded off the runway and burst into flames in bad weather at Toronto Pearson Airport. Pilot and co-pilot have escaped, 291 souls on board in unknown condition.

Can anyone hear anything on the live ATC feed?

It's been silent since I've started listening since 5 pm.

All 309 people survied the crash. Apparently 14 with minor injuries.

Miracles do happen!!

This never happens to me but I am flying tommarow on the A340-600 between MAD-JFK and I am a little shooken up. Never felt this way before.

I wouldn't worry, Iberia, all indications seem to suggest weather as the primary cause.

Locking this thread as the one in the General section has more posts.
