ED HENRY, CNN HOST: A 737 plane is in flames just off the runway in Toronto, Canada. You can see the smoke and flames there, that live picture. This is at Pearson Airport in Toronto, Canada. It's a Lufthansa plane with 200 passengers aboard, this coming in from CTV. They're saying, again, that this passenger jet is in flames. It skidded off the runway at Toronto's Pearson Airport.

You can see the flames in the left-hand corner and the smoke is also billowing out. This is a Lufthansa jet in Toronto, Canada. A short while ago, it skidded off the runway and you can see there the weather also, obviously, making it a bit more difficult for the rescue effort underway right now.
One minute. Did he mention it was Toronto? And there were flames?
Two hundred passengers aboard. We do not have any more information about their situation right now, but you can see the flames right there. Obviously, a very difficult situation. CTV reporting, again, that this is a 737 plane in flames, just off the runway at Pearson Airport in Toronto. Just coming into CNN.
You can see the weather there, also making it much more difficult. Visibility not too good right there and you can also see rain coming down. Traffic stopped right outside the airport as everyone tries to deal with this and takes a gander at those dramatic pictures right now unfolding in Toronto.
There are apparently severe thunderstorms in the area in addition to what you can see from the rain. There's been severe thunderstorms in Toronto today. You can see the flames, again, shooting out from the plane there. Two hundred passengers aboard this Lufthansa jet -- a passenger jet -- a 737 plane that has been in flames for some time.

You can see an ambulance coming across the roadway just outside the airport, trying to get onto the airport grounds.

Five. Toronto!!! TORONTO!!!!

We have -- are trying to assess the situation right now, as to what led to this plane going off the runway in Toronto at Pearson Airport.

Seven. T.O.R.O.N.T.O.
There have been severe thunderstorms in Toronto today. You can also see the fog and mist. Visibility is very difficult there right now. That could obviously play a factor in the actual rescue effort, but we do not know what actually caused this plane to skid off the runway.
CTV has been reporting that there are about 200 passengers aboard and you can see there on that expressway again -- now, also the Associated Press is reporting that the plane crashed into a ravine, just as you can there, right off the runway.
You can see the smoke almost picking up a little bit there and flames. As we have been reporting now for almost 10 minutes, flames continuing as we speak. You can see all of the sirens, the emergency vehicles there on the runway trying to deal with the situation.
Eight. Didn't catch where, though...
Then, bring in the Big Guy. Preferably with a fake name based on a type of carnivorous pack animal that lives in the woods. Have Big Guy repeat the same things New Guy just said for the last eight minutes.
And now let's bring in -- CNN's Wolf Blitzer is here, as well, to join us.
WOLF BLITZER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Ed, this is very dramatic, obviously, as you've been reporting and as we're getting additional information, this passenger jet is in flames after skidding off the runway earlier today at Toronto's Pearson Airport, which is the huge, major international airport in Toronto, which is Canada's largest city.
The plane crashed, according to the Associated Press, into a ravine after apparently running off the end of the runway. This is a huge Boeing 737 we're told. The aircraft, clearly visible in these pictures that we're getting courtesy of our affiliate CTV in Canada. The pictures coming in; the area around this runway; the plane skidding off.
We have no idea about the extent of injuries, but the pictures, clearly very dramatic.
Clearly, this is very, very dramatic. So dramatic, you must spend the next 8 hours talking about this, and nothing but.
Follow these simple rules, and YOU TOO can deliver Hard News(tm).
