TK1951 / Schiphol

Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 was less than a mile from the runway at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport when it catastrophically crashed on 25th February 2009. The aircraft broke into 3 pieces on impact, killing 9 passengers and crew and all three pilots. A faulty radio altimeter was the initial catalyst in a chain of errors that led to the horrific crash. In this episode, survivors tell their story of escaping from the wreckage of what should have been a normal commute home to Amsterdam.
