Firstly my best wishes to all the injured parties.
We were parked in DUR at A1 while the accident was playing off behind us.
It was a extremely powerless feeling that rolled over my crew and myself to witness this tragedy. We reported to ATC the the A/C appeared "fairly intact" as we climbed out. As crew we had to focus on the task at hand, but our minds were with the crew of Link 911, with 2 t/o's and landings ahead for the day. We were unaware at the time of the outcome. We were reminded how quickly things can go wrong.

As we all are aware it had been raining in DUR before 8 that morning. We landed just after the rain. Earlier in the forum the “situation that could make the JS41 impassible to fly” is contemplated.
My question to the forum is: How would contamination of the fuel (say water) affect the JS41.
I do not wish to speculate about the quality of the fuel – please. This is merely a question because of the earlier rain.
