??TE THY UÇA?ININ HAVADAK? GÖRÜNTÜLER?

With the persisting fire just after GA shown in this vid (and the (likely structural) wing damage shown in some twitter pics from inside the A/C), its a miracle that it held flight for 20 more min. It took about about 12 min to line up for a second approach onto RWY 05 (after having passed and re-passed over central Istanbul), which was aborted in favour of re-positioning in approx another 8 min more for RWY 33.
