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

CAN WE ALL STOP LOSING AIRPLANES PLEASE!!!!!!

We are flying to the UK next month, I am normally not nervous at all about flying but this is all starting to freak me out.

I hope so 'cos I'm taking the Beech to The Magdalen Islands in a couple of hours and there's rain on the way. Shouldn't be a problem though.

Apparently, it crashed.

French warplanes search Mali desert for crashed Air Algerie plane | Reuters

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?
