And WestJet made an emergency landing at Pearson this morning, though all is safe with that flight, thankfully.

Apparently, it crashed.

Burkina Faso authorities said the passenger list comprised 27 Burkinabe, 51 French, eight Lebanese, six Algerians, two from Luxembourg, five Canadians, four Germans, one Cameroonian, one Belgian, one Egyptian, one Ukranian, one Swiss, one Nigerian and one Malian.
Another sad day.

Isn't Mali where a lot of the Libyan nutters went, with their captured surface-to-air missiles?
