BREAKING NEWS............

An Air France passenger jet carrying about 200 passengers overran a runway and burst into flames Tuesday at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. Smoke billowed from the site, as scores of emergency workers sought to put the fire out. One witness said: "We were about to run over and try to help, but it went up in such flames." There was no immediate word on casualties.

Oh Geeze you wanna see air service now come to a grinding halt. That airport is a major hub in Canadaland.

Well let's hope for 0 casualties.

I'm hearing zero casualties, too. Nothing concrete yet, but looks pretty ok so far, considering how hideous the pictures are.
