Turkish Airlines 737 crashed at Schiphol
 

News is coming in of a Turkish Airlines plane which has crashed at Schiphol Un confirmed reports say between 1 and 10 dead. There were 135 people on board. The plane is in three pieces in a field next to the motorway. Many passengers were able to just walk ut of the crash according to eye witnesses.

I just heard the news of BBC this morning. Current reports say at least 50 people have survived.

CNN International reporting Airport now closed 1 fatality. Just awful!

Dutch TV is reporting 4-5 bodies lying outside the plane, covered in sheets. There will be a news conference shortly.

Some planes are still landing at Schiphol using the other runways, but many planes have been diverted to Rotterdam. The motorways to the airport are closed to allow the emergency services access.

Hopefully we shall know more after the press conference, scheduled for 13.30 CET.

It is always terrible when something like this happens. My thoughts are with all those involved.

Nine dead, 50 injured, 25 of them seriously :(
