A passenger jet carrying 135 people crashed as it attempted to land
at *Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport this morning.
The Turkish Airlines Flight 737 broke into three pieces as it hit the
ground next to the runway, narrowly missing a main road and some
houses.
seems it ran out of fuel......d'oh
Here's an excerpt in today's newspaper.
quote
The Boeing 737-800 jet was hauled in for repairs after a flight on
February 18 when pilots reported a malfunction in the wing flaps, which
increase lift on take-off and create drag on landing, the channel said
on its web site.

Don't you just hate the media sensationalizing the issue? As if flaps
don't create drag on take-offs and increase lift on landing.
