Air France officials, including chairman Jean-Cyril Spinetta, a medical team and a psychologist, were scheduled to arrive Wednesday in Toronto to investigate the crash and help ensure the continuing health of its passengers.
"I want to pay homage to the crew," Spinetta told a news conference Wednesday at the airline's headquarters in France. "I don't know if we should speak of a miracle . . . but above all the professionalism of the crew."
Toronto radio station CFRB reported Wednesday that the pilot of the ill-fated Airbus may have been the last person off the burning plane.
Before leaving the burning wreckage, the pilot - a 57-year-old Air France veteran who was injured in the crash - sent a radio message to report he had made a complete row-by-row sweep of the aircraft to ensure all passengers had escaped.
