00:00Well, the scene almost looks the same from our vantage point, Bukhari.
00:06I can still see the emergency lights on the vehicles.
00:08Fire is definitely on scene.
00:10I don't see any paramedic vehicles from where I am,
00:14but most likely they are all tied up with patients.
00:18Now, we did get confirmation that there were 15 people injured,
00:2112 with non-serious injuries, miraculously.
00:25Sadly, three people got very serious injuries, as we reported earlier,
00:29a man, a woman, and a child were all airlifted to various trauma centers.
00:33Now, just while I remember this, Bukhari, as we're watching traffic go by us here,
00:38cars are stopping in a live lane.
00:40It doesn't look too bad right now, but just a short time ago, they were lined up,
00:43cars were honking, going around one another.
00:46It is very dangerous to stop in a live lane of traffic, to get out of your vehicle
00:49and put your nose in between the mesh of the fence trying to get a better look.
00:54It's just silly.
00:55And there was almost two accidents here just before we came to air.
00:58So if anybody's listening to this and you're coming by the area,
01:01please don't stop in a live lane of traffic, man.
01:03The roads are slippery, and it can be very, very dangerous as well.
01:06So the airport is closed down.
01:09There are no incoming or outgoing flights.
01:12I am told that Montreal is taking the majority of flights that are coming into the city,
01:17and we certainly are waiting for an update from the Canadian National Safety Board
01:21as well with regards to any other information,
01:23and the Peel Police will assist with this investigation as well,
01:26as well the paramedics and the Toronto Pearson International Airport are doing what they can,
01:31and Delta Airlines are keeping their ear to the ground as well
01:34as they feed us information as well, Bakari.
