Air Crash at Pearson

[revolver]

There are reports of survivors. One that called a friend after she ran to the 401. CNN is wrong thankfully.

 

[Goober Mcfly]

CNN has reported no survivors. All hope disappeared with the fireball.

Well that's complete and utter bullshit. But what do you expect from CNN?

 

[Uzo]

are you guys serious? CNN really said all were dead? what a fucken joke of a news station (my opinion of CNN and Fox have been even more cemented).

 

[glaeken]

What's the difference of them stopping on the side of the road to watch it or you being at home watching it on your tv? They aren't obstructing traffic by doing it, the people slowing driving by are the ones causing the problem.

The shoulder is meant for emergency use only, not for people to stop and gawk. Because of the slow traffic, due to rush hour and rubber neckers, emergency vehicles getting to and from the accident may need to use the shoulder to get through quickly. If people satisfying their morbid curiosity are blocking the shoulder they may hinder rescue efforts.

 

[Daddio]

Injuries aplenty but zero deaths.

 

[Jade4u]

I just heard it on the news as well, there is no fatalities. That is good news.

 

[Gyaos]

It's good to know all survived. Great! I'm in the USA right now and they did broadcast the CBC interview on CNN of one of the survivors where the announcer said "Well, Welcome to Canada" at the end of the call. That was funny.

 

[WhaWhaWha]

Welcome to Canada. Tasteful. They might as well add "Merci for flying zee Air France"

Too soon for Captain Clousseau jokes?

 

[Svend]

More important, does this affect the strip club operations this evening?

 

[WhaWhaWha]

All flights are cancelled today. This may slow the rate of arrival of new French Girls to bang.

The co-pilot wandered out to the 401 and was taken to the hospital by a passing motorist,in a case like this they shut the road down when they get resources,give these people that stopped a break for christs sake,some of them run to the plane to try and help,while you call them morbid morons from the safety of your keyboard,sheese,

 

[WhaWhaWha]

And at the ninth recap Im shutting the news off.

 

[Dave in Phoenix]

I have been watching CNN and they did great job in my view. The no known survivors early was from eye witness that was on the So side and saw no one. But he also said it is possible passangers could have escaped North.

When CTV broke passanger on board statement was broadcast by CNN and had their own phone call from a passanger but passanger didn't know how many escaped.

Sounds like very fast crew reaction to get emergency chutes open and passangers evacuated before fire spread was the key to saving lives.

The odds of being in a plane crash: 700,000:1
The odds of being killed in plane crash: 25,000,000:1

CNN has reported no survivors. All hope disappeared with the fireball.

CNN is keeping up its track record. Totally incorrect again.

 

[PraiseTheLoad]

The odds of being killed by a dog: 700,000:1

The odds of being killed in a car crash 5,000:1

ive watched CNN since 5

CNN mentioned again and again, they DID not know what happened yet. THESE are EARLY details that WILL more then likely change with time.

CNN is doing a good job in my view.

 

[Jamaica-luvr]

CNN(AND THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE) are media whores, who have no regard for accuracy in reporting, except to further their own political agendas. I'm surprised they haven't put Osama at the scene with a RPG launcher in his hands.

Everyone got out safely, no fatalities, minor injuries to 14 people that required a hospital visit.

Everybody say a silent thank you before you go to sleep tonite to whatever deity you choose to pray to that there was no loss of life.

 

[Esco!]

There was a squirrel on the runway and immediately the French pilots surrendered.

I never said anything negative regarding those people that stopped to pick up survivors and driving them to hospital so please don't put words in my mouth. Those people should be commended.

I was referring to the people I saw on the live broadcast standing beside their stopped cars. When the police showed up the first thing they did was clear those people away so they clearly should not have been there.
