ouch.. heard a little bit about it on CFNY on the way home... and cbc didn't have much on it other than "plane", "fire", "Pearson".. hope people were able to get out of it..
and as a selfish note.. was thinking in the back of my head "i'm glad i'm not going to Scarborough tonight, traffic is bad enough without a flaming jet next to it."

My boss' girlfriend was at the airport when it all happened...
She called him and was giving us minute-by-minute info...
Also, we made front page and Breaking News on CNN, BBC, and CTV

I don't think this one can be blamed on any one thing just yet... Too many things going on at the same time to pinpoint fault without a proper investigation...
Frightening thought that the reaction from the airport was so slow that the passengers made it all the way to the 401 flagging down cars looking for help :blink:

There is that distinct burnt electrical smell in the air and I'm way over in East York.
