Passenger account
Passenger Oliver Dubos, speaking to CTV's Tom Clark by phone from a nearby emergency room, said that just before the plane was about to land, the lights in the cabin went "all black -- no more lights."
The plane then went off the runway, and the plane was suddenly in the ravine. "We opened the emergency doors, there were lots of flames, and we just tried to escape," Dubos said. "There was a lot of gas and smoke."
Thanks for the info. That must be the same passenger; that's exactly what he said.
