PH is always scarily quick off the mark o.o

The aircraft had 135 passengers on board and has split into three parts.

Not good at all by the sound of that.

I think that's probably a bit optimistic, sad to say

First picture



It is a Turkish Airlines Boeing 737-800. It appears to have broken into three sections and there was no fire.

Sounds like it might have been a fuel problem.

PH worldwide radar system detected a glitch?

It's quicker than the news websites in here.

Hopefully its not serious, although split into 3 parts does sound serious.

[Mafioso]

Out of 135 passengers, 50 have escaped injury...

Doesn't sound too good...

[TIGA84]

No Fire is a good thing, hopefully everyone got out ok.

ETA - maybe not.

Are the Dutch allergic to full screen websites?

[eldudereno]

Looks pretty intact considering it's ended up in what looks like a ploughed field.

The PH Jungle drums are the fastest on the web in the vast majority of cases.

Lack of fire implies lack of fuel (which could explain why it didn't reach the runway)

Lack of fuel would make a fire even more probable .

[Eric Mc]

Fuel vapour can be a problem but jet fuel is actually not very flamable. When you look at the number of aircraft which have crashed short of runways or overshot runways, I woul;d guess that in most of these accidents, where serious structural damage was incurred, a fire ensued.

I am pretty sure the initial investigation will want to know why a fire DIDN'T occur in this accident.

A Dutch spokesperson was just introduced as " Rude Vapours"

Modern aircraft have got pretty good fuel tanks the same type used in race cars so fire is increasingly rare in accidents.
