Another Plane Crash!
Three days after the crash of the Ait France Airbus, today another plane, a ATR-72 of the tunisinian air carrier tuninter has splashed down in the water near Palermo.
This time, unfortunately, the tragedy has reaped some victims. 13 people have lost their lives and two other seems to be missing on the sea. Two af the victims are children departing to Djerba.
The plane has been broken in three parts, but the passenger compartment of the airplane has resistited to the impact with the sea, and this has saved 23 of the passengers.
The incident seems to be caused by a malfunctioning of the engines, because the pilot had informed the control tower of Palermo that there was problems and that he will have tried an emergency landing, but the problems were so great that the plane hadn’t reached the sicilian costs.
This time the fate has require some lives, and it’s sad.
The plane had been checked at the end of march this year with the “green light” from the inspectors.
“A splash down is the latest option a plane can have” has been told today “but the pilots achivede the most important part: even if there were 12 death, the plane has floated for over two hours, this means that the splash down was less worst than it could have been!”
Italian Minister of transportation has immediately told the press that this has been an accident, and NOT a terroristic attack, but this doesn’t change the sad fate of the victims.
