Turkish
airline flight 1951 left Istanbul this morning but crashed as it came in to land at
Schiphol Airport on the outskirts of Amsterdam with 20 injured. Separate reports have claimed fifty 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 Schiphol'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 frm Schiphol have been suspended.
