One passenger, Roel Bramar, told CBC News that he saw lightning just as the plane landed in a torrential downpour.
"I'm sure that the bad weather was responsible," said Bramar, who was not injured and managed to scramble off the plane by means of an emergency chute. He was the second person off the plane, he said.

"We had a hell of a roller-coaster going down the ravine," Bramar said. "All I could think of was 'Get off!'"

"There was quite a downpour. The visibility was really bad, with lots of lightning," said John Finlay, a CBC journalist who was at the airport at the time of the accident.
At mid-afternoon Tuesday, a spokesperson with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority said lightning was causing technical problems with the airport's lightning-detection system. All aircraft had been grounded for safety reasons as a result, largely to protect gound crews.
