heading 184 degrees

149 knots

4-5 km north of the airfield.

Which is *exactly* on the ILS 18R. I just don't know if 149 knots is normal at this stage - I don't fly jets.

Anyone has a URL with the ATC transmissions yet? The Dutch TV let us hear some extracts during their 13h news edition...

I heard the extracts too but they were from a ground frequency. Essentially ATC telling all aircraft to hold position and standby due to a major incident. Not surprising, considering that virtually all emergency services were heading for an off-airport location.

What you'll want is the tape from 118.275 (tower west).
