I agree. They seem to have left out that the plane is a complete write-off. Just a tire blowout, that's all...

Tell me, how does a a simple tire blowout completely wreck an airplane and seriously injure half the passengers onboard. I know it wasn't the evac. The ATR is close enough to the ground when the landing gear is attached, never mind when it sits on its belly.

AMR has a great way of downplaying their accidents and keeping them out of the news...
