Plane off runway and on fire in Toronto, Canada...
 
Air France jet.

Not looking good for possible survivors. Thusfar, they are blaming weather.

Air France. 200 passengers. From the looks of it, it's a long, damn way from the runway. Apparently went off the runway and caught fire.

I don't see how anyone could survive that fireball...:(

What was it trying to do landing during a severe thunderstorm?

I hope you are right. I guess we'll see. The shots I saw looked like a plane almost completely engulfed.

Depends on when it caught fire, of course. From the looks of how far it skidded and the fact that the airframe looks to be surrounded by trees, I wouldn't surprised if it sheared off a wing. That's bad.

I hope I'm wrong.

Sudden thunderstorm, possible microburst. Speculating that it was an ILS approach.

Pilot and co-pilot survived and are being debriefed. Hopefully that's a good sign.
