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!

I just caught that on the news tonight when I went out to go put some dishes away... I was like "OMFGWTF" because all I heard was "France airliner crashes at Toronto Pearson airport." x_x; Just kind of froze and listened some more about it... thankfully people weren't hurt. That's amazing. It must be that Canadian fluffy warm power. XD "Oops, hey dere, plane! Don't be doin' that! <fluffy trees stop plane> :X" Or some weird crap like that. LOL

CTV news actually started broadcasting the Toronto CTV news. >_> I thought the field agent was a prat, if anything... ick. I'm also glad that no one in the surrounding area got hurt.

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.
