Breaking News from CFRB 1010AM News Radio - Toronto

Airliner on fire on the ground at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ). Unclear as to cause. Announcers asking for updates from motorists in the region on HWY 401. Report says great deal of smoke. I have to go into a meeting shortly but I'll listen for updates as long as I can.

They are being tight lipped about survivers. Only confirming some passengers were transported to local area hosptials.

[Petronski]

Just a lot of jabbering about nothing.

For CNN International, that's what engineers call "working as designed."

[Blue Scourge]

Are you being serious or sarcastic..I can't tell....long day....really tired.

[blackie]

I'll drive my pickup ~ thank you:

LOL

[Black Tooth]

Being reconfirmed by airport official, that it appears to be approximately 291 people on board

I think the CNN witness 'Corey Marx' was a fake. Originally he claimed he was calling in from the roadside, but just now he was talking about "see those cars moving eastward in your shot"? So unless he lives nearby and got in front of a TV while they were doing another interview, that is hard to explain.

Thanks for the link.

The incredible stupid people who are stopping on a busy expressway and getting out of their cars need to have their licenses pulled.

Incredible link.

[Asfarastheeastisfromthewest...]

Listening to live interview of fellow who stopped on highway and he says he spoke to flight attendant who was under the bridge. She told him that she thought everyone got off the plane. Praise God if true.

Airport closed.

CP24: YYZ is officially closed for all flights.

MSNBC

Reporting that Globe TV is reporting 291 passengers -- and all survived.

You realize, of course, that this is Bush's fault. If he'd signed Kyoto there wouldn't be all these thunderstorms.

[Central Scrutiniser]

Always be skeptical of eye witnesses, hence the TWA "missle" theory folks.

[jdm]

"FoxNews eyewitness reported seeing 2 busloads of passengers being taken from the scene. [Good news]"

Definitely good news. Two busloads could easily equal 100 people (appx.).

[mhking]

CP24: Unable to confirm how many survived yet.

[mewzilla]

Reporting that Globe TV is reporting 291 passengers -- and all survived.

If that's true, and I hope it is, thank God!

[Silas]

You newbies know nothing about the history of plane 'crashes'. Do everyone a favor. Just shut up if you have nothing to contribute.

The government will put out the party line by way of the media. The media will create the 'real story' according to this party line. They don't need your help is putting down all people who seek the truth.

You people are the true enemies of the truth. You claim to distrust the government but in reality you blindly accept everything they put out, regardless of how ridiculous. At the same time you attack people who question the government.

You are part of the problem. Acknowldege.

The gully, or point of rest, was described as a very large gully, with trees.

Global TV reporting - no deaths - many injuries
