but that is trow we do have more detecters than both fanecs and canida.
but what thay are saying hapined to this air craft was so qick evin if thay had had those detecters thy probly whood not be abule to do much it hapined so fast.
thay are thining ether a sudin micro berst or a linting bolt hit it or both.
the air bus 340 wich was the tipe of plane it was, is potected aginsted liting and micro bersts. a big anuff liting bolt or micro berst can nigate the saftly systoms wich is probly what hapind.
air bus 380 is the bigest comershal plane in servise to day. so that pusts the size of the air bus 340 in perspective.

A lightning bolt wouldn't have done anything but burned some paint...

No fatalities in Toronto airplane fire

All 309 people aboard a jet that overshot a runway and burst into flames at Pearson International Airport Tuesday survived the ordeal, according to fire officials on the scene.
There were 14 minor injuries, however.
One passenger aboard the Air France Airbus A340, Roel Bramar, told CBC News that he saw lightning just as the plane landed in a torrential downpour at about 3:50 p.m.
"I'm sure that the bad weather was responsible," said Bramar, who was not injured and managed to scramble off the plane by means of an emergency chute. He was the second person off the plane, he said.
RELATED STORY: Everyone was 'running like crazy': passenger
Flight 358 from Paris had been scheduled to arrive at Toronto at 3:35 p.m. EDT. Something went badly wrong, and the plane overshot its intended runway by about 200 metres.
The plane skidded off Runway 24 Left, an east-west runway laid out parallel to one of Toronto's busiest roads, Highway 401. It ended up in the Etobicoke Creek ravine, a small valley at the far west end of the airport, the aircraft's fuselage tipped down and its tail in the air.
"We had a **** of a roller-coaster going down the ravine," Bramar said. "All I could think of was 'Get off!'"
Emergency crews were still on the scene by early evening.
While cleanup efforts continued and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada prepared to begin its investigation, all incoming flights were being rerouted to Ottawa's airport.
Rescue crews trying to extinguish the flames.

YOUR REACTION: Letters about the accident
The incident happened as most operations at the airport were grounded because of severe thunderstorms in the area.
At mid-afternoon Tuesday, a spokesperson with the Greater Toronto Airports Authority said lightning was causing technical problems with the airport's lightning-detection system. All aircraft were grounded for safety reasons as a result, largely to protect crews working on the ground.
