Airplane crash in Toronto

story.1820.toronto.crash (5k image)

During today's thunderstorm, an Air France flight coming in from Paris to Toronto's Pearson International Airport slid off the end of the runway, falling into a ravine where it cracked in half and caught on fire. Fortunately, all 309 people aboard the plane survived because the flight attendants sent them down the big yellow slides before the plane exploded. Some of them even climbed up the bank to the highway and hitchhiked back to the airport! Canadians are so practical.
