"De piloot heeft een raar geluid gehoord en heeft het vliegtuig weer aan de grond gezet, maar is daarbij blijven steken vlak voor de spoorweg"


translation:
The pilot heard a strange noise, after which he landed the airplane again..

Surely that would mean he was already in the air??

Mogelijk was een klapband de oorzaak van de crash, zeggen waarnemers. Dit werd nog niet bevestigd.
translation: Observers say that a blown tyre might have been the cause of the crash.

So as they where ''flying'' a tyre blew, causing such a critical situation that they had to land right the aircraft right then and there on the remaining couple of hundred feet of runway?

Sounds quite plausible that this is the way it really happened!
