Witness/passenger reports taken from sky news.

Jihad Alariachi said there was no warning to brace for landing before the ground loomed up through the mist.
"We braked really hard, but that's normal in a landing. And then the nose went up. And then we bounced ... with the nose aloft," she said.
Passenger Kerem Uzel said the jet's tail made contact with the ground first.
"We were at an altitude of 600 metres (2,000ft) when we heard the announcement that we were landing," he said.
"We suddenly descended a great distance as if the plane fell into turbulence. The plane's tail hit the ground ... It slid from the side of the motorway into the field."
