Seriously sad if reported as fact. My heartfelt condolences to all crew and passengers..



55 pax and 7 crew onboard, RIP

Apparently just left of and before the runway(@100m or so from threshold) is the accident point in supposedly poor weather after a second approach. Crew had been circling for over 2 hours trying to land. A video of the supposed incident from CCTV shows a higher than normal looking rate of descent. No emergency was ever declared.

FlyD and Boeing to investigate the causes.

I request that everyone respects this accident in this ME forum and does not let this turn into a "I told you so" about the operating ethos.
