Plane crash in Toronto

It's a large Air France airbus, with approximately 300 people on board. Several busloads of passengers have been evacuated. It is still on fire, from the tail, and it's lucky that the plane was landing instead of taking off, or we'd have a crater where the runway used to be.

It's sitting in a ditch a stone's throw from the 401 highway. Guess who won't be home for dinner tonight? Piet takes that highway every day.

Every station that has anything to do with Toronto is showing non-stop coverage. Apparently CNN has made noises about terrorists. A plane slides off the runway in the middle of a torrential downpour/lightning storm, and it's terrorism? For heaven's sake, people, get a grip.

Legally, he wouldn't have much grounds. It's a French plane on Canadian soil. No connection to the U.S. at all.

Ha!

At the moment, I think he owes us more than we owe him.
