F-50 down in Luxembourg
 
:( Just heard on the radio that an F-50 of Luxair has crashed in fog at Luxembourg airport.
Reports are that 16 of the 22 on board are feared dead.
:(

:confused: Pure speculation and conjecture at this early stage,
but saw a photo of the wreckage and out of the f/o's window was hanging the oxy mask.
IF he was wearing it at this late phase of approach to land,
the only reason would be some sort of smoke and fire? :confused:

Pure speculation I know but with the pics showing the rh propeller undamaged it would seem that rh engine might not have been operating normally during the final stages of the flight.
