Yet Another Plane Falls Out of the Sky?!
February 27, 2009
Don’t you think that there is a proportionally larger amount on planes dropping out of the sky this year?!
I have never been particularly scared about flying before, but it now seems that plane crashes are occurring on a regular basis and this surely means that you and I have a far greater chance of ending up in one of these accidents?!
Turkish Airlines flight came down at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport (which I have been to 3 times). According to reports nine people were killed and at least 50 injured. The speculated reason is because the plane ran out of fuel… what?! I hear you say?!
Mustafa Bahcecioglu a survivor said:
“We are in the middle of a field now, approximately five to six kilometres from the airport. The majority of the passengers are injured but there are people who are not injured. Around 30 ambulances have come here.”
Huseyin Sumer another survivor said:
“The plane split into three parts. We are calling people to say the situation is not very serious but there might be casualties on the front side of the pane.”
Air Transport Intelligence Editor Kieran Daly said about Schiphol Airport:
“This is one of the best-equipped, most modern and most sophisticated airports in the world. There is no high terrain anywhere near the airport and pilots have every conceivable landing aid available to them. There are very long, very wide runways and an extremely competent air traffic control service. This is one of the last likely places in the world for an aircraft accident.”
