Re: Turkish Airlines B737 crashes in Schiphol Amsterdam
Apparently it crashed just short of the runway. No fire, could this mean it was out of fuel or something like that?
Re: Turkish Airlines B737 crashes in Schiphol Amsterdam
It was a landing flight
so no aborted take off or take off over run

Re: Turkish Airlines B737 crashes in Schiphol Amsterdam
In the picture the airframe seems quite intact (no implosion of the structure)...on first sight also no signs of fire in the cabin. Both observation hint at a high survivability of the crash. Let's hope for the passengers and crew that the consequences remain limited to injuries...

Bron: De Redactie: http://www.deredactie.be/cm/de.redactie ... 0225_crashVerschillende Turkse media hebben het over een dode en 20 gewonden. Dat is niet officieel bevestigd.
Quick translation:
Turkish media speaks about 1 dead and 20 injured, is not yet officially confirmed

Seeing the coverage on CNN here in Beirut. Looks indeed like the fatality will be limited, although there are reports of at least 1 dead.
It was awkward to see CNN reporting the breaking news headline of a Turkish Airlines Airbus A380 down for a couple minutes. Some journalists should learn the basics of their job! Airbus should sue them to set the record straight!

What do you mean by "something like that" ? Out of fuel is out of fuel. Birdstrike is birdstrike.No fire, could this mean it was out of fuel or something like that?
But yes it could be out of fuel, yes.
It could also be a zillion other things.
How many times must we still insist NOT to speculate?
Please wait for official info, it will surely come when available.
