Airplane Crash

I have to say I was really shocked to hear about this Message in the radio this very morning. Just arriving in an other plane I was so grateful to be on terra firma again. But what about our trip? Totally confused I did have problems to grasp the possible dangers of a flight by plan which are normally put aside.

But I really don't want to spread panic. Travelling by plane mantains... statistically the most secure means of transport. To read further details about the crash I provided a link a short newspaper article...This may become an excellent feature story...right Crummy?

A Turkish Airlines plane has crashed on landing at Amsterdam's Schiphol international airport, killing nine people and injuring 84, six critically.

The plane, carrying 128 passengers and seven crew, crashed short of the runway near the A9 highway. It broke into three pieces, but did not catch fire. Witnesses spoke of seeing at least 20 passengers walking from the wreckage of Flight TK 1951. Officials said it was unclear why the plane, en route from Istanbul, crashed. There were conflicting reports initially about the number of dead and injured, but at a press conference at Schiphol a couple of hours after the crash, the airport director confirmed nine people had died.
