They're not saying how it happened yet.  They are fighting the fire right now.  About 200 people were on board.
It's on all the Canadian stations right now.  I saw ABC and NBC do a newsbreak about this too.

There is a pretty big storm right now so maybe that had something to do with it.
Thank god my ass is home already.  I work in that area and take the highway around there home.  I would have been in traffic for hours.

TV2 Norway said there was thunder/lightning just as the plane tried to land, somehow causing the plane to spin out of control and slide off the runway..
Getting out of a plane on fire upside down is a near impossible task..  :-\

'No fatalities' in Toronto crash

An Air France passenger jet attempting to land at Toronto's Pearson International Airport overran a runway in a driving rainstorm and crashed into a tree-lined gully, bursting into flames and sending smoke billowing into the sky.

"There are no known fatalities" among the 297 people and 12 crew members who were on board, an airport spokesman said. About 14 people suffered minor injuries, he said.

Jet overruns runway in Toronto, burns

TORONTO, Canada (CNN) -- Firefighters are battling a blaze on board an international passenger jet that overran a runway at Tornoto's Pearson International Airport.

"This plane came off the runway. It slid off the runway and into this gully," said Toronto radio reporter Leah Walker, who witnessed the crash. "It's come off with probably a great amount of force into trees and the creek."

She said a fireball engulfed the plane. The Associated Press reported 200 passengers were on board the Airbus 340.

A fire department spokesman said there were reports that some people were taken to hospitals, but he could not confirm information on casualties. Canada's Global Television network said the pilot and co-pilot survived.

One passenger, Olivier Dubos told reporters: "We had absolutely no insight or hint that the landing would be difficult. Power went out just before we landed...we thought it had to do with the rain."

Flight 358 was scheduled to arrive from Paris's Charles de Gaulle International Airport at 3:35 p.m. ET. Severe thunderstorms had occurred in the area beforehand.

Another witness, Corey Marx, said, "Everything looked good, sounded good. It hit the runway nice, then all of a sudden we heard the engines backing up."

Marx said he initially didn't think anything was wrong. But then, "The guy I was with piped up, 'You know, he's getting pretty close to the end.' Immediately afterward, right off he went."

The plane fell into a valley at the end of the runway and cracked in half, Marx said.

Vito Porto, a freelance photographer, told Global television that an explosion occurred after the crash, throwing debris for several hundred feet.

Smoke billowed from the site, as scores of emergency workers sought to put out the fire with foam.

Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

I wasn't sure which one it was, a joke, or did you actually think that.  That's why I asked.

Yeah, Im cool. It was just a joke made by a drunk dude ;). I just wanted to tell you that I like your level-headed, sober, unemotional, businesslike, dry-ass posting-style, and overall your characters on dubcc. Pz.
