They tried to land in a thunder/rain storm and they overshot the runway some explosion went off and now its in etobikoe river. 291 people onboard, Many of them taken to hospitals, Pilots are alive. Not sure if there are any deaths yet. I hope not.
The plane should'nt of even landed, The runway was not rated for a low visibility landing plus there was thunder and high windspeeds, and a slippery runway. Hope everyone is fine.

planes are programmed to land pretty much on their own nowadays, they are programmed to land in that sort of weather.

I hear a small bit of it on the radio at work, just that their was a plane crash. I remembered my friend was flying back from paris but wasent sure when he was leaving. Asked a customer later if he heard anything and he said it was air france. I was just like "shut up!". I figuered my friend would not have left yet though. Sure enough got home and got a txt from him saying "hey! just leaving paris now!". They have no idea of the crash. *phew* talk about heart attack for a second.

It was like a whiteout, They could land easy but when they cant see jack shit its rough, thats why the plane ended up in a river at the end of the runway.
