Passenger Plane Skids, Bursts into Flames at Toronto Airport


Investigators in Toronto, Canada say they will retrieve the black boxes on Wednesday from the Air France passenger plane that skidded off the runway while landing in a heavy rainstorm.

All 309 passengers and crew aboard the plane survived Tuesday's dramatic crash. Airport officials say the Airbus A340 from Paris overshot the runway while landing in a heavy rainstorm.

The plane slid into a nearby ravine, bursting into flames. Rescue workers scrambled to free passengers, as smoke billowed over one of Toronto's busiest highways.

Canada's Transport Minister Jean Lapierre says it was a "miracle" that no one had died.

There were about 20 minor injuries.
