Lufthansa plane's 'hard landing caused fire'
By GHAZANFAR ALI KHAN | ARAB NEWS Published: Aug 1, 2010 00:04 Updated: Aug 1, 2010 00:04 RIYADH: Preliminary investigations into Tuesday's crash of a Lufthansa cargo plane have contradicted earlier reports that linked the accident to a "midair fire" on board the aircraft. The statement released by the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) on Saturday said that a "heavy hit on the surface of the runway caused the crash that led to a fire and billowing smoke all around" immediately after landing (....) According to airline sources, there were no hints of a malfunction, or even of on-board fire prior to landing. The results of GACA's investigation also contradict earlier reports attributed to Saudi air traffic control officials who said that the crew had declared an emergency just before touchdown. In fact, an alert was declared and all necessary support mobilized only after the plane struck the runway and caught fire, according to the initial investigations. |
