Results of the crash:

24 people with minor injuries.
No fatalities.

That's so awesome. :D

The early CNN coverage pissed me off. The announcer was trying to get a passenger to say that the service provided by Pearson potentially put the passengers in danger. WTF? If people were killed I could see people asking questions, but they all lived! Why are we trying to find fault? Celebrate the fact we all got lucky. Yes, "we all". This could have been a lot worse in many ways for southern Ontario. But, it's not. Tim Hortons for all!

It's our magical super happy fun power, I swear. Like that time a man in Toronto was going to go on a massive shooting spree and decided not to because he met a "friendly dog". True story. Or October Crisis, which could have ended in a civil war, execpt that the FLQ decided to drop terrorism in favor of politics.

CTV sucks; they have the odd bright spot (unlike Canwest) but don't really "stand out" from the crowd. I liked it better when it was Baton Broadcasting and not so power hungry... and not claiming that CTV means "Canadian Television". Poor CFTO. ;_;

Nobody outside of the flight got hurt, but there's some worries about the environment: The air out in around Pearson has a funky smell apparently and there's a chance some fluid/fuel got into the creek. Etobicoke Creek feeds into Lake Ontario and I think that means that nearby beaches will be closed for a while.
