Sky now reporting that "onlookers" (ie, people who potentially don't have a scooby what they're talking about, but may do) saw both crew and passengers leaving the aircraft... Lets hope there is good news...

I can testify to the thunderstorm!

I live about 10 K from Pearson...we were under a severe thunderstorm warning at the time and a tornado warning as well.

Pearson had a DC-9 run off the runway back in 1978...exact same place. After that accident they re-profiled the ravine to absorb crash energy if it ever happened again.

Todays miracle would suggest that it worked.

A very big GOOD SHOW to the emergency crews involved and the aircraft crew for averting a certain disaster.

There's several topics running on this subject. Latest BBC News reports suggest there are no serious casualties. The media loves this sort of thing & their comments are at the best unreliable. No point in speculating so it's best to wait until the facts are known. Please read Flying Trucker's request in the Real Aviation forum. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=genav;action=display;num=1...

Did anyone else besides me find it sick when the news agencies on TV learned there were no fatalities, they stopped coverage of it?
