Funny how none of the news agencies are saying anything about the lighting.


I don't know about that... CNN and Fox were both saying something about
lightning

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)

Whatever, get a life.



Get a TV - or stop whining about what the TV is or isn't reporting!

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.

Yea, like on msnbc. Get a load of what this passenger "lady" has to say.
Being alive and unhurt wasn't enough, maybe she expected a personal escort
to a plush RV with champagne & caviar?

The O2 masks never dropped? Maybe it's because the plane was on the ground?
Yea, lets add some O2 to the resulting fire!

Damn airline got her shoes muddy! Ohhhh, the humanity!

Uggh!

Marty,

Well, we're lucky it happened in Canada. Otherwise she would get millions
after her lawyers sued the airline for mental distress or something.

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...
