Well....

I listened to the 3 networks here (Canada)

CBC, not bad, (They had a cam grew at the airport covering the
storm)

CTV, a little better.... more factual and reasonable..

Global... a joke..They REALLY need help... She couldn't even
get it straight between "Casualities " and "fatalities" ..

(sigh)

(Sorry, but it was really awful)

All in all, a mess, - but someone (many) did some things
right... Emerg crews apparently were at the plane in 50 secs... the
slides worked, and the crew had them launched...

NO fatals......!!!

14 or 24 minor injuries (depending on which network)

Everybody will get to go home..

Air France will need a new 340 however...

I don't have access to TV here, they might be saying something different
on
there.
The news on the website was saying there was lighting in the area, but
nothing about the plane getting struck. (I will check again)

Dave - Hello Dave - Wake up Dave!
I'm not interested in commenting on airline accidents in the early hours,
before at least the initial facts are in - but to comment disparagingly
on
what the news are or are not reporting, then to come back and say you don't
have TV?

Dave originally said "news agencies." Maybe he has access to this thing
called the internet.
