Canada 3000 emrgency landing

[sharky]

I saw the aircraft on TV landing in Fort Lauderdale (sp?) with the starboard engine still on fire. It looked like they blew four tires on landing but everyone walked away. I would say that the crew did an excellent job getting the plane on the ground. Anytime that you land with the indications that the fire is still burning has got to be one of the most difficult situations that we can face. When you take into account that it was a new route for the Royal guys, an unfamilliar area and at night my hat goes off to them.
