An investigation by the Toronto Star, published yesterday, found that the accident could have been avoided if simple safety measures used at many U.S. airports were implemented.
Experts concluded the Pearson runway involved in the accident — runway 24L — should be longer and have special grooves that give better traction during wet conditions.
The Star also concluded the multi-million-dollar Air France jet could have been saved had the runway been built with "crushable concrete" that significantly slows runaway planes.
TC can stop the investigation now, "the Star has concluded" so no need for further study.
