Witness says was driving by and saw flash of light and then fire in rear of plane (we have a pterry good electrical storm here right now). Possibly Air France plane (would be a large heavy). Aircraft seems to have slipped off the end of the runway and is face down in ravine. My guess is this would have happened on takeoff from runway 2.

That could be anything. Nearby or direct hit lightening strike, or explosion on aircraft.
