Turkish plane crashes in Holland
At least twenty people were injured in a Turkish Airline plane crash. The plane crashed while
attempting to land at Amsterdam's Schipol international airport. It's thought 135 passengers
were on board. Our Europe reporter Ben Shore has more details:
Turkish Airline flight 1951 left Istanbul this morning but crashed as it came into land at
Schipol airport on the outskirts of Amsterdam with 20 injured. Separate reports have
claimed 50 passengers escaped injury.
Pictures from the scene show the wreckage of the Boeing 737-800 in three pieces in a field
close to one of Schipol's runways. Dutch television is reporting that rescuers have been
hampered in getting to the scene because the field has recently been ploughed.
All flights to and from Schipol have been suspended.
