Turkish airlines EHAM

[wijnand]

Hi guys,

yesterday morning (25 feb) at 10.31 local time Amsterdam (EGT: 09.31) a Turkish Airlines 737-800 was landing rwy 19R (Polderbaan) when they somehow seem to "fall out of the sky"according to whitnesses and crashed into a field nearby.

There are 9 dead and 125 survivors. The pilots and also 1 crewmember are among the dead.

From what we have seen on TV and the news etc is this: the plane seemed to fall down just before landing, as if they had no more thrust left. People saw the tail hanging down and the nose up.

The field in which they crashed was soft and muddy, wet ground which is one good thing, it "constricted" the damage, although I feel every victim is one too many.

At this time the investigations are being carried out.

My condoleances and respects to all the family and loved ones.

they,ve recovered the Black Box, so we should hear something soon, it seems that it went in Tail First which caused the breaking off of the tail, and the Front of the Aeroplane then hit the ground with such force it drove the Nosegear up into the Cockpit killing all the occupants, I believe that the third person was a trainee for Turkish Airlines.. Terrible

Terrible news I hate coming home and start reading forums and getting news about planes crashing.


My condolences to all the victims families.
