Patrickl's whacky news
Level42:
Yeah, they left the bodies of the crew-members until only a couple of hours ago for investigation.......standard procesure probably but still.....

Indeed, I live right next to Schiphol. Also, my (then) wife's twin brother lived in the Bijlmer building that was struck. Friend of mine was one of the few survivers of the SLM flight. Just about his whole soccer team died.
It's like you always know someone who was on or near a flight when something goes wrong ...

Apparently there were one pilot and two co-pilots in the cockpit. Maybe one of the co-polits was a trainee or one of them was going back home? Indeed I doubt they had three crew on active duty.

4 of the people who died were Americans. Not identified yet....

Odd, a plane crashes in the Netherlands and 4 Americans and 5 Turks are killed. Most people died in the cockpit and tail section (which I thought was supposed to be safest).
6 people are still in critical situation though. Lets hope they pull through.
7 americans were on board among which 4 (or even all 7) were Boeing personel. There were 60 Dutch and 51 Turks on board.
A lunatic religious group was going to protest the funerals because they think the Dutch are scum of the earth (for allowing same sex marriages) and to make us see that we called this upon ourselves. Wonder if they are going to come still. Not much point if no Dutch people died. There is probably not even going to be a funeral in the Netherlands.
