Surpsrisingly, no fatalities. Thank God

Now for those who pray, say one for the astronauts as they attempt repairs to make a safe re-entry.
Peace,

This happened about 10 minutes from my office.
Apparently an Air France plane was coming in for landing and was down and then struck by lightning. He lost all power, went off the end of the runway, and then went down into a ravine.
No fatalities at all - thank God and only about 14 people taken to hospital - they've said no serious injuries.
That pilot did one hell of a job - he was not very far from a major highway lined with rush hour traffic.

No fatalities? Amazing what folks survive when the big ticket puncher doesn't want to make it our last stop.
God, provide the shuttle crew with the knowledge and skills necessary for their safe return.

I had family on a plane on the runway when that happened. They are visiting from England and were trying to get from Toronto to Sarnia. They had to take a bus, all flights were cancelled. It's a testament to the crew and pilot that all turned out as well as it did.

I was amazed to see no fatalities when I saw it on the news this morning.
Give the pilots a big bonus for a job well done.
