A very dramatic event occurred today in an airport in Madrid. A plane carrying 175 passengers on board and heading to Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, crashed not long after it took off. :nonnon

Unfortunately only 28 of them survived the crash, one of which died on the road to hospital. Some witnesses said they saw fire going of an engine during takeoff, after that the plane collapsed and spitted in two parts.

Our Sincere Condolences to the families that lost their ones in this terrible accident…
here is a video available, with some details

I heard that there were passengers there from different countries, does anybody know something about that?
I know that a young couple was late for that race for 3 minutes, and the airport staff said they were too late and they can't get them onboard. I wonder how much luck you need to have to be in their place... Smile

The man said his girlfriend is now afraid to go home, as they have to travel by air again...
Sometimes is good to be late.
Anyway, what makes this story sadder is that it was a flight to a holiday resort and there were many families flying all together in that black tuesday.
This is all about the destiny and if you've been destined to meet the death on time, then you won't able to get away from it. (Gosh, this incident remains me the Final Destination again...)
regarding the destiny... I'll open a thread at phylosophy forum.
What I wanted to say is that today I saw news where a woman who survived gave an interview. She was so happy that she could barely speak
that's awful: a family was given the wrong remains of a person who died in this crash. Read here:

could you post a link, please
Ok, let says that you're one of the survival of the airplane crashed tragedy, although you did survive from the death, but the horrible moment will keep haunting you till the end of your life!

Thus, a proper psychology treatment is needed for the survivals as well...
Is this the woman you were talking about, Helen?

Thank you very much Benn, the woman looked happy to be alive. Smile
There is a security camera that captured all the drama of that day, including the crash. Why aren’t we aloud to see this footage?
