An investigation official examines the wreckage of Air France Flight 358 at Pearson International Airport in Toronto, Canada, August 5, 2005, as a KLM flight lands. Flight 358 crashed August 2 when the pilot overshot the runway and crashed into a Ravine. All of the 309 passengers and crew on the flight survived, with 24 suffering minor injuries. The runway at Pearson airport does not conform to international standards, an association of US and Canadian pilots said August 5. The airport lacks a "runway safety area" which offers a margin of safety if a landing jet cannot stop normally, the Airline Pilots Association, International said. [Photo/CFP] |
