Vliegtuig botst op straaljager in Frankrijk

Een Frans gevechtsvliegtuig en een ultralicht vliegtuigje zijn in het luchtruim boven Oost-Frankrijk met elkaar in botsing gekomen. De piloot van het ultralicht vliegtuig kwam om het leven, maakte de brandweer bekend.

Het gevechtsvliegtuig, een Mirage 2000, was opgestegen voor een trainingsvlucht vanaf een basis in Luxeuil-les-Bains en botste boven de plaats Etrigny op het vliegtuigje. De omgekomen piloot was de enige inzittende van het toestel. De Mirage, die blijkbaar weinig schade had opgelopen, keerde terug naar zijn basis. (novum)

SAO PAULO, Brazil (CNN) -- Heavy black smoke poured into the air and bright orange flames lit the night sky in Sao Paulo after a passenger plane skidded across a road and crashed into a building Tuesday. At least 200 people were killed.

var CNN_ArticleChanger = new CNN_imageChanger('cnnImgChngr','/2007/WORLD/americas/07/17/brazil.plane.crash/imgChng/p1-0.init.exclude.html',1,1); //CNN.imageChanger.load('cnnImgChngr','imgChng/p1-0.exclude.html'); A TAM Airlines Airbus 320 carrying 176 people crashed while attempting to land in heavy rain at Sao Paulo's Congonhas Airport, the airline said.
The Sao Paulo fire department said at least 200 people, including some on the ground, were dead at the scene.
There was no immediate word on survivors.
Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva declared three days of national morning for the victims, according to reports from The Associated Press.
Witnesses said the plane skidded across a major road at rush hour. Reports that the plane struck a gas station could not be confirmed, but a massive fire broke out.
The plane apparently struck a building bearing the airline's logo at the small domestic airport in the heart of the city. At least 50 rescue vehicles were at the scene, firefighters said. The fire continued to burn into the night.
Paulo Barros told the Brazilian newspaper O Globo that he was getting ready to board a flight to Brasilia on another runway when the plane crashed.
"We saw the plane go straight down the runway. It didn't manage to stop and went into the avenue. It went by so fast that we thought it was taking off," Barros said.

The airport is notorious for having short, slippery runways, CNN's Miles O'Brien reported. The runway was recently resurfaced but the cutting of grooves to channel rainwater off the pavement had not been completed, he said.
A Brazilian court in February banned large jets at the busy airport because of safety concerns, The Associated Press reported.
But an appeals court overruled the ban, saying it would hurt business and that the safety problems did not warrant halting air traffic, according to AP.
The airline said it could not immediately confirm the extent of the damage or the number of victims. Family members of those on the plane were being given assistance, it said.
"I was surprised by a ball of fire in front of my window," Deisy Oliveira, who lives by the airport, told O Globo.


"The atmosphere is tense and nervous, because nobody really knows what happened. Since the plane hit the building and a gas station, you can't tell exactly where the explosion happened."
The airport's main runway was closed for several weeks at one point while it was repaired because of a problem with water collecting on the runway, Tom Hennigan, a reporter from The Times of London in Sao Paulo, told CNN. It was too early, however, to say whether that may have contributed to Tuesday's incident, he said.
The airport is small and in a densely populated area, he said.

"When you fly into Congonhas airport, it is like you are literally flying past people's living rooms in apartment blocks," Hennigan said. "Then you land on the runway. It is completely surrounded by the central part of Sao Paulo city. This is not an airport out on the edge of the city. This is right in the city."
According to AP, Brazil's deadliest crash before Tuesday occurred last September when a Gol Aerolinhas Inteligentes SA Boeing 737 collided with an executive jet over the Amazon rainforest, killing 154 people. The executive jet landed safely.

na het al 100 keer geizne te hebben op NGC en internet:
AFR A340-300 - Toronto Pearson Intl
serieus slecht weer
zeer late touch
zeer laat de reverser geopend
natte runway => glijbaan
wsl een te snelle appr speed

het enige rare vind ik, de vlieger stond nog op de bana toen plots alle lichten uitvielen en hij hevig begon te schudden. Dat steekt mij wat dwars

Belgische Airbus landt met brandende motor in Schotland

BRUSSEL - Een Airbus A310 van het Belgische leger is zondag geland met een brandende motor in het Schotse Edinburgh. De 130 passagiers en de bemanning kwamen er met de schrik vanaf.
Tijdens de landing ontvlamde de linkermotor van het vliegtuig. Het toestel kon op eigen kracht van de landingsbaan wegrijden. Het is voorlopig niet bekend wat de brand heeft veroorzaakt.
