...and more from a quick scan of Italian TV

I've just watched an interview in which Signor Turrą, the Italian CAA bloke at FCO, contradicted Alitalia by saying: "The wind wasn't strong enough to cause an aircraft to depart the runway."

A passenger on board complained bitterly that he was left lying on the ground for more than half an hour beside the wreck before the emergency services showed up.

They're now saying that of the two serious injuries, the broken femur was sustained by a passenger, not the FO as previously reported.

A journalist (yes, I know...) reported that runway 07/25 is closed for maintenance at present, hence its non-use by the accident aircraft.
