TURKISH Airplane Crashes in Amsterdam

Wednesday, February 25, 2009


When I arrived at home after working out in the gym, I passed by the family room and saw videos of another plane crashing in Europe. According to the news, there were about 135 people on that plane. When it landed on the muddy part of the landing strip, there were 9 people who died because the fuselage of the aircraft split in half because of the impact. There are also about 50 people who got injured and are all in critical condition. This may well be another one caused by birds getting caught in the aircraft's engine but since they are not sure yet, we all may have to wait for further investigation. What's sure is that this is not caused by any terrorist activities. The fatalities are also low because there was no fire when the plane landed even if the fuel containers of the aircraft succumbed to a very hard hit on the wings.

The pilots Hasan Tahsin, Olcay Ozgur and Murat Sezer were not injured. They did not also know why this crash occured because they were about to land when this happened. They did not have time to react because everything was over in about 10 seconds. Air pockets that low maybe? There is a lot to investigate about this incident. I hope the injured people are okay.
