I'm surprised CNN or the BBC are not showing anything yet. However, my friend says it's also on TV over there in Turkey. I hope there aren't any serious casualties.
 
Re: Turkish Airlines crash landing

Watching CNN right now. CNN says it's an A380?
 
Re: Turkish Airlines crash landing

I don't think Turkish has any 380's....
 
Re: Turkish Airlines crash landing

But how oh so big would that story be? CNN is probably drooling over the coverage of that. They'll probably huff and puff like little school girls when they find out it was some other type aircraft.
 
Re: Turkish Airlines crash landing

At least they're covering it. MSNBC has droll sports coverage, Fox is complaining about the Obama speech and CNN headline news has Nancy Grace babbling about some missing kid.

CNN (regular, not the headline) is showing an image and it looks like a 737-800 and it's "off airport".

Hahaha, yes. CNN just corrected themselves.
 
Re: Turkish Airlines crash landing

CNN Innanashunal said the plane is in three pieces. Hope everyone got out okay.

Pardon the "home office" television and the iphone shot.
 
Re: Turkish Airlines crash landing

Apparently went down at 1040 CET.
 
Re: Turkish Airlines crash landing

CNN's reporting 1 dead, 20 injured, and 50 reported survivors (so far).
 
Re: Turkish Airlines crash landing

Now CNN reports that a Turkish spokesperson says that there are no deaths.
Awesome. I hope there are no deaths. There have been one-too-many crashes this year. What a bad way to start 2009.
 
News travels fast 'round here...

Nice TV doug, I bought my home office TV in college. :)

Thankfully for the pax there was no fire whatsoever. Very interesting there was no fire, considering the damage.
