bit more on sky site Emergency crews on the scene poured jets of water on to the flames, assisted by rains. Witnesses said the plane may have been hit by lighting. There was no immediate word on any injuries or deaths but one man said his wife had survived the flames. Other onlookers said they saw some terrified passengers making their way off the plane. A spokesman for Air France said it was not known how many people were on the Airbus A340, but that the capacity was around 200 crew and passengers.

I've looked on major news websites but there's not much info at the moment. Will have to 'watch this space'. Hoping there will be good news. Joanne |

Around 200 passengers are trapped on board a plane which has skidded of a runway in Canada and burst into flames. The plane, believed to be an Air France jet, crashed into a ravine after apparently careering off the end of a runway at Toronto's Pearson Airport. Huge plumes of smoke billowed from the plane, which was engulfed in flames on the edge of Canada's busiest motorway. |
