I have read twice on this thread (on 25 and 26 Feb) that four Americans, later identified as Boeing employees died (one was Post #458 and another [apparently since deleted] that specifically said “
The four Americans who died were the four Boeing employees on the flight).
In the interest of accuracy I am copying the following press release by Boeing:
SEATTLE, Feb. 27, 2009 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] today received confirmation from the U.S. Embassy in Amsterdam that a third Boeing employee has been identified as among the fatalities from this week's Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 accident in Amsterdam. Boeing extends its deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues. With the consent of the affected families, Boeing confirms the names and conditions of the four Boeing employees on Flight 1951. Three employees – [Names and Home Town] - died in the crash. One employee - [Name and Home Town] - was among the injured and remains hospitalized. Boeing remains committed to supporting the families of our employees through this very difficult time.
I know of no further information on the condition of the injured employee.
