*not real*
A Boeing 747 operated by Cargolux airlines has crashed in Amsterdam, Netherlands, killing all 6 crew members and 20 on the ground. Cargolux 747 (reg. LX-MCV) was operating a weekly cargo flight between Netherlands and Hong Kong. The aircraft has suffered a tail strike, followed by an engine strike on the take off. Also 7 tires were badly damaged as the aircraft has overrundthe runway. Pilots struggled to bring the plane to the altitude of 3000ft, before performing an emrgency landing, but due to it's heavy load and full fuel tanks, the aircraft has fell on to streets of Amsterdam shortly after the take off. Unofficial info says that a pilot has made a mistake shutting down the working engine along with the damaged engine which has lead to the loss of speed and power. Some witnessess has provied pics of this scrarry disaster:
This 744 was getting ready to complete it's weekly cargo flight
The aircraft has been checked before the take off, and no problems were reported eitehr by the crew or by mechanics.
All of the four Rolls-Royce engines has been checked and it is not yet known if an engine failure might have caused the crash
Boeing 747-400 is used by Cargolux on it's cargo routes to Europe, Asia and America
Weather was not an issue either, as the skied were clear and there was almost no wind.
The plane was told to depart from a short runwaym however it was long enough for a 747 to take off.
The pilots have used all the correct settings for a 747 take off.
The tail strike occured about 3/4 down the runway and caused the 747 to loose drastically it's speed and lift.
The 747 has damaged some of the lights at the end of the runway and used some of the grass before actaully lifting off
Pilots shut down two of the four engines and lowered the flaps to perform an emergency ladning
The plane managed to climb to around 800 feet. However it was loosing power which eventually led to a stall
This is the last picture of this plane, taken by an amateur photographer. The plane has crashed shortly after into an empty gym. 20 people on the ground were killed - mainly pedestrians and driver who did not managed to escape on time.
The investigation is on, but human error seems to be in charge of this horrible crash.
