I'm getting somewhat upset by the suggestions that the rescue services didn't do their jobs adequatly, wheren't fast enough, purposely didn't save the FO etc, etc.

By law, airport rescue services have to reach an accident within 3 minutes. CFR is so positioned around the airport so as to meet that minimum. HOWEVER this aircraft didn't crash ON THE AIRPORT!!! If you look at the satelite imagery you can see that there's no straight line possible, multiple small ditches in between. I think the rescue services did an awsome job getting there as fast as they did.

One could only hope that turkish CFR would do a similar good job!!!

Now quit with the threat drift. Stop asigning blame until the full report is out!!
