News story here

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4740381.stm

Details sketchy at the moment.

its now exploding if you are watching it on tv

I'm praying the people are okay. :(

hopefully people managed to get off it

Its the sort of thing nightmares are made of, I hope the casualty count is a low one ..

A bit more information here on Reuters (http://today.reuters.com/business/newsarticle.aspx?type=tnBusinessNews&storyID=nN02645039&imageid=&cap=) . Just says pilot & some passengers taken to hospital and some other passengers walking away.

Fingers crossed!

report on sky news claims a big section of the plane fell off and plumeted to the ground http://www.sky.com/skynews/article/0,,30000-1191024,00.html

Thank goodness everyone managed to get out of the plane! I'm betting that's largely thanks to well trained cabin crew :thumbsup: Well done them!

The more I fly the less nervous I am becoming, but I ALWAYS feel under my seat to make sure the life-jacket is there, and I know exactly where the nearest exit is and try to memorise the brief pictoral instructions for opening the door and activating the chute.
