Listening to Toronto radio station, CFRB Toronto.
A guys wife called him from her cell phone. She, and many others, got off the plane. They are holed up under a bridge by the 401.
They have the husband on hold. Trying to get his wife on the line.
Not sure how many people are with her.
Couldn't have been much of an impact, on landing, if they were able to get out.
Please let it be true that most, if not all, managed to get out.
Thanks goodness. It looks much worse on TV.
Good news.
That's wonderful. I hope it's not some Howard Stern crank.
Thank God!
Huge fire according to radio news on the hour, and many survivors being picked up by passing traffic.
Hope that is true. The 401 bridge is the freeway in the bottom of the TV shot. A long way from the plane, but would make sense if there was a heavy storm after they got out. And if the 4:07 landing time is true, then it was about 20 minutes from the crash until the TV camera was on CNN, time for the evacuees to have moved from the plane to under the bridge.
However I'm a bit skeptical, since I don't recall seeing much movement by the ambulances on the end of the bridge on the plane side of the creek, which is visible in the TV shot.
