Toronto: Hope People are Okay

Hope our people in Toronto are okay. You Candians on WF, I think I like you! I hope you are safe. As you may know a passenger jetliner carrying about 200 people erupted in flames Tuesday after skidding off a runway while landing in a fierce thunderstorm at Toronto's Pearson International Airport. --freebird

Oracle is an unknown quantity at this point
I saw that on the news today. I didn't catch the end though. All I heard is that only 60 or so survived. I've always been afraid to fly, and now it'll probably be even longer before I ever board a plane. You'd think they'd have something figured out in regards to lightning safety.

Ilan Bouchard is an unknown quantity at this point
I think I've come to rely on WF to tell me what's going on in the world. I heard nothing about that.
But it's good to hear nothing worse came of that.
