Comment from the Fire Chief at Pearson at a news coference this morning was that one reason the fire took so long to extinguish (reports of from 4 to 12 hours) was that there was a substantial amount of fuel onboard. Globe and Mail today quoted someone as saying the A340 has enough fuel capacity to do CDG- YYZ - CDG if they wish to. (currently taking a grain of salt)
