CNN showing a Luftanasa 737 skidded off the end of the
runway at Peasron (sp?) airport, Toronto Canada. The plane
is on fire but appears intact. Heavy thunderstorms reported
in the area.

Correction. Plane belongs to Air France.

Brian

Sorry, further corrections. Media now reporting it as an
Airbus A340.

Next, they'll change their minds on what airport. I thought
they confirmed information before they reported it? (nawwww)

CNN's Miles O'brien, who is a pilot(?), is _trying_ to
explain what may have happened (wind shear causing plane to
stall and fall out of the sky, but not like a dead stick
landing where the pilot still has control). Funny thing is,
the video clearly shows the plane off the end of the
runway.

I think it's far more likely the plane simply couldn't stop.
A local reporter said at the time the rain was coming
down so hard you couldn't see. When the live video first came
in it was raining pretty hard.

Brian

It sorta still is. Check

Also, the liveatc.net stream for CYYZ is up and PACKED. Dave
has it archiving as well, covering before, during, and after. Though
the airport is rather shut down for the most, I doubt you'll hear much.
Have a listen anyway.
