Air France A340 (252 seat configuration).
Flight AF358 (as quoted by a ticket agent in Montreal).

Reports from witnesses on the freeway of aircraft skidding off end of runway into a gully, splitting in half and being engulfed in flames.

Poor weather. Reports of thunderstorm and saturated runway. Looks like a major incident.

I don't know time of landing however, watching BBC News 24 and witnessed explosions only about 10 mins ago (22:00h GMT). Obviously my best hopes for the passengers, crew and emergency workers.
