<<Latest TV news said that the plane may have hit power cables before the. Don't know if this is due to a slow climb......>>

If my memories donīt fail me, a GARUDA DC-9 crashed in 1987 on a approach to Medan.
While being on final approach in very bad weather, the a/c hit power lines (or a TV antenna, according to other reports) and crashed near the airport. Arround 20 dead.

With reagards,
