Just turned on to CTV news, a plane seems to have over ran the runway and caught fire.  Details are still uncertain as this seems to have just happend.  Reporters aren't even sure what type of plane, airline, or whether it was taking off or landing.  Wild guess but the runway is next to a high way.  The 401 maybe?  Listening to the news right now, and I just heard that it was a Lufthansa jet, and looks like it had 4 engines from they're reporting, they're saying it was an A-340.  I don't want to start guessing so as not to give out the wrong info, but here's the link.

OK the usual media confusion has begun, one side is saying it's a 737, and others saying it's an Air France.  I hate it when they get information incorrect but then again this is just happening so confusion at first is normal.  Hope they put out the fire and rescue those passengers

It's an Air France aircraft... On the TV they're saying it's a 737, but maybe it's a 777.

Ok it's an Air France A340....

Air France A-340 was landing and looks like it overshot the runway.
