CONTRACTORS working on an old house in the US have found a human hand that police later confirmed was severed 50-80 years ago, but it’s still unclear whose hand it was and why it was there.

TWO emergency slides on the Air France jet that crashed last week in Toronto malfunctioned, investigators said as they pored over tire marks to determine why the plane skidded off the end of a runway at Canada’s busiest airport.

INVESTIGATORS said yesterday that the Air France jet which crashed earlier this week in Canada appeared to have landed too far down the runway.

THE pilot of the Air France airbus 340 made a decision to land the plane at Toronto airport despite a “red alert” about lightning and having enough fuel to reach another airport.

The co-pilot of the Air France passenger jet that crashed and burned at Canada’s busiest airport will be interviewed today as investigators try to piece together why the plane skidded off the runway and burst into flames after landing in a ravine.
