Remind me to never read the news two weeks prior to my flight.

Erm, that was in 2005. Did you not look at the date at the top of the article?

Hmnmm. It appears on the latest updates on Google. The original link is to the other Air France incident that happened in Toronto.

There's also the story about a Sun Air plane that has been hijacked, although thankfully passengers have been released, here's hoping the crew are released too.

Seems very similar to the conditions of 2 yrs back as in the BBC article from 2 yrs back. Just a note to the MUC fire of yesterday,and some comments about the size of the fire in that original incident in 2005, that hull loss also started with a very small fire.

Sorry about that guys! It was mailed to us at work and clearly didn't see the date. Thanks Sealink for the correct link! [y]

I have seen that one on aircrash investigators[:D]

What was the result?

Landed in a very heavy rain storm too far down the runway and went off the end, down an embankment ended up just short of a very busy highway.Everyone off alive, but the 340-600?(340-300 when I looked it up) burnt to a crisp.
