Overrun - Lack Thereof
I had a good look at both the DC-9 and the A340 that had come to rest in the ravine.
My suspicion remains that EMAS would reduce takeoff weight because of reduced runway length.
Just before AF overran I was watching Buffalo weather radar as a line of cells propagated down the Bruce Peninsula down to YYC and my office in Port Credit.
Traffic came to a stop on the expressway under a downburst.
AF might have gotten across its downburst, but I seriously doubt it would have made it through the tailwinds on the other side.
