Quote: The Boeing 747-200 skidded to a halt in a field at the end of a runway around 1:30 p.m. (1130 GMT). Four of the five crew members on board the plane, operated by U.S.-based cargo carrier Kalitta Air, were slightly injured and were hospitalized, said Jan Van der Cruysse, spokesman at Brussels Airport. I think that last quote is the understatement of the year! Matthew http://news.aol.com/story/_a/cargo-pl ... 839x1202732725x1200112091 |

Ya' think?  I'd guess that's the airline that's owned by Connie Kalitta, the retired drag racer. He was also married to Shirley Muldowney at one time, another retired dragster driver. It's a miracle no one was seriously hurt. I think they just haul cargo but I'm not entirely sure. |

"Airport officials said it was not clear what had caused the crash. Local news organizations speculated that a tire could have blown during takeoff or the engines could have failed."
The local news orgs seem to have a better handle on aircraft investigations than the airport authorities. |
