737 off runway, Pearson Toronto

Funny how none of the news agencies are saying anything about the lighting.

There was a witness that came on the live feed and talked about what he saw.
He said the plane WAS struck by lightning. I wonder how long it will take
the news agencies to get there?

Reports are that it was struck by lighting AFTER it landed, and lost all
controls.

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.

I don't know about that... CNN and Fox were both saying something about
lightning

I don't have access to TV here, they might be saying something different on
there.
The news on the website was saying there was lighting in the area, but
nothing about the plane getting struck. (I will check again)

Dave - Hello Dave - Wake up Dave!
I'm not interested in commenting on airline accidents in the early hours,
before at least the initial facts are in - but to comment disparagingly on
what the news are or are not reporting, then to come back and say you don't
have TV?

CBC report no fatalities, 14 minor injuries.

Ok, I'll bite. Gimme facts. You seem to know more than the accident
investigators. Spell it out. PUT UP OUR SHUP UP!

It was a tonque-in-cheek comment. Seems like you were about the only
one who didn't get it. As for your last comment, take a hike on a short
pier.

Matt,

In that case, sorry. No way for me to get it. Maybe I should have taken
that pill before going online ;-)

Weren't you the one who was ripping people on their spelling earlier in this
thread?

The term is: Put Up Or Shut Up...

C'mon..get it right.
