This morning a plane crashed near Schipol airport in Amsterdam. It’s still breaking news so there isn’t a lot of info out yet.
Here is what is known so far (from cnn.com):
(CNN) — A Turkish airliner crashed at Amsterdam’s main airport about 10:40 a.m. Wednesday local time, Dutch airport officials said.
Images from the scene of the Amsterdam crash show the plane broken into three pieces.
“Some passengers are dead, some are injured and some are alive” in the crash, a spokesman from Schiphol airport’s press office said over the telephone before hanging up.
Turkish media said the plane was carrying about 135 people.
The Boeing 737-800, which originated from Istanbul, Turkey, was trying to land at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol when it went down.
Airport officials had originally said that the plane was an Airbus 380.
Pictures from the crash site showed the plane split in three parts.
Kieran Daly, of Air Transport Intelligence, said the pictures indicated there had not been a widespread fire.
He said the impact had been severe but it could have been survivable because of the lack of fire.
Daly said their had been vast improvements in the materials used to build airplanes, meaning they did not burn as easily.
Since this report, others have come out reporting that some people have died in the crash, although they have not yet given any numbers. Hopefully those numbers won’t be too great.
I saw that while I was at work… poor people.

Did these guys run out of fuel? Read what Department of Transportation Inspector General Calvin Scovel had to say… He suggested the airline was pressuring pilots “to either not stop for fuel when needed or to carry insufficient amounts of fuel.” Reports from the scene also said taht there was no smell of kerosene and the plane appeared to stall before crashing.
sir goodday. please we cant read clearly in the news where is the plane last destination?
There have been more accidents on flights carrying the number 191 than any other single number.
THe Comair Flight 191 was also known as Delta 5191, the same numbers of the Turkish flight.
* X-15 Flight 191 (1967)
* Prinair Flight 191 (1972)
* American Airlines Flight 191 (1979)
* Delta Air Lines Flight 191 (1985)
