Sorry, further corrections. Media now reporting it as an
Airbus A340.

Next, they'll change their minds on what airport. I thought
they confirmed information before they reported it? (nawwww)

CNN's Miles O'brien, who is a pilot(?), is _trying_ to
explain what may have happened (wind shear causing plane to
stall and fall out of the sky, but not like a dead stick
landing where the pilot still has control). Funny thing is,
the video clearly shows the plane off the end of the
runway.

I think it's far more likely the plane simply couldn't stop.
A local reporter said at the time the rain was coming
down so hard you couldn't see. When the live video first came
in it was raining pretty hard.

Reports are that it was struck by lighting AFTER it landed, and lost all
controls.

It sorta still is. Check
http://www.canada.com/national/story...3-706ef0159d71

Also, the liveatc.net stream for CYYZ is up and PACKED. Dave
has it archiving as well, covering before, during, and after. Though
the airport is rather shut down for the most, I doubt you'll hear much.
Have a listen anyway.

I have no experience in airline jets other than Boeing simulators, but my
corporate jet experience tells me that the stick pusher won't let you "stall
and fall out of the sky." Always willing to be proven wrong.

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

There was a witness that came on the live feed and talked about what he saw.
He said the plane WAS struck by lightning. I wonder how long it will take
the news agencies to get there?

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)
