Air France Flight 358 Crash
An update on the Air France crash in Toronto. Amazing that no one was killed.
The aircraft that crashed was an Air France A340 carrying 297 passengers and 12 crew members. Air France flight 385 took off from Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France and crashed at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Canada. The A340 is less than six years old and had only 28,418 hours. There were no passenger of crew fatalities and only 43 injuries. The reason for the crash is still unknown, but the recovery of the black box is reportedly going to give to insight into the reason of the crash. The Air France flight landed with an applause but 10 seconds after the touchdown the passengers noticed the plane was not stopping, when the aircraft ran out of runway it crashed into a ravine. The plane was able to deplane in 2 minutes with three quarters of the passengers deplaned in 52 seconds. After all the passengers had deplaned a fire started which took 12 hours for ground crews to extinguish.

Air France is one of the worst companies I ever dealt with. I got stuck in Paris during the last strike in October. I had to take the train to London, spend the night and buy a Delta ticket the next day to get back to LA. They reimbursed me $37.00 of almost $2,000 that I spent. THAT'S HOW YOU SPELL CUSTOMER SERVICE AIR FRANCE STYLE!!!
