Sad. Somewhere, someone posted earlier today this was an anniversary of the L1011 windshear crash at DFW, 20 years ago? And I was just thinking, at least that crash experience made flying in storms safer...well...
Hope all are OK, somehow.

watching on tv now, and it looks like the entire plane is on fire. Lots of emergency vehicles. I hope all are ok onboard.

For what it's worth - my office is right across the street from Pearson. At the approximate time this plane was landing, incredibly dark skies and ridiculous amounts of rain falling, in addition to the lightening.
Let's hope and pray for everyone on this flight.
