Turkish Airlines Plane Crashes at Amsterdam Airport, at least 9 Dead and more than 50 Injured

Turkish Airlines Flight TK 1951 crashed while attempting to land at Amsterdam’s Schiphol international airport on Wednesday killing at least 9 people and leaving more than 50 people injured.

Flight TK 1951, carrying 128 passengers and seven crew members, was descending for landing when it fell short of the runway and broke into three pieces.

There have been no reports on what caused the flight, en route from Istanbul, to crash but visibility at the time of landing was said to be good and maintenance records showed the plane to be in sound order.

Passengers reported the plane dropped quickly, seemingly hitting turbulence and within moments the tail of the plane hit the ground and caused the plane to slide and fracture into three pieces. Officials have said the death toll could have been much higher had the crash ignited a fire.
