Considering what could have happened, it's pretty amazing no one died or got seriously hurt.

Anyway, I don't know about you, but I think I'm going to stay away from airplanes (at least when it's raining) for a while...

ME? Paranoid?!

my aploud to the pilot... the world doesnt have enough skilled pilots to prevent anyone from dieing so... If i could, id give him/her a standing ovation.

and theres no way lightning could of done that crash. No way! thats like a 1 in a 100,000,000,000 chances.

All planes evacuations are customed to take a maximum of 90 SECONDS, this would explain why everyone was able to survive, I think you also have to congradulate the passengers for following instructions well

Something similar happened here some years ago... although it was when taking off, and unfortunately there were several deaths... what happened was... the plane accelerated, but never took off. It passed the runway and crossed a car highway JUST as the traffic lights were in red. Could be quite worse. Ended in a golf course across the street.

I just passed by the airport today. The plane is pretty badly damaged (litarally "burnt"). You can see it form the highway -- quite a sight to see with all the police investigating and stuff...

wow

i flew right over it to day on my trip back from moncton, no delays, but they said, its looking like it was not a lighting strike, they checked the wings, the wing tips, tand tail, (all still left in pretty good condition) and there was no evitence of a exit apature, for the lightning, its common for it wo exit in those area, but investigators are not rule the possability out,

currently the "Black Boxes" ave been sent to france, downloaded the logs, and should be back to toronto investagators shortly, currently the strongest THEORY is hydro-planing(a.k.a. aquaplaning)

>>>

common reasons why the plane may have exploded was the pilots probualy realised that they were not stoping in tim, and throttled UP to attemt to take off again, thust putting the engines at full power when it crashed

and there is the fact that the plane carry a LOT of fuel, even it if was close to empty, gas tanks are MORE dangerous when close to empty then full

<<<<

although the imfo in the >>>   <<< is my own opinion, the rest is factual i have gotten off the radio

your opinion makes sense tho!
