At least 153 people were killed today when a packed passenger jet caught fire and overshot the runway as it tried to take off from Madrid's main international airport. Most of the victims were thought to be Spanish and German holidaymakers heading for the Canary Islands.

The Spanair plane crashed and broke apart after failing to lift off from runway No 6 at the Barajas airport at 2.23pm local time en route for Las Palmas airport on Gran Canaria.

An official with the municipal rescue service said that all but 27 of the 175 people aboard - 166 passengers, including two children, and nine crew - had been killed.

"The plane was all broken up, all full of bodies," an airport authority worker at the scene said.

“Nothing remains that looks like a plane,” a member of the Guardia Civil returning from the crash scene said. “It’s horrific, everything’s burned. It’s a horror, I don’t want to tell you, I don’t want to tell you.”

With blackened face, he continued: “It’s the most like hell I’ve ever seen. The bodies were boiling, we were burned trying to remove them.”

Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, the Prime Minister, broke off from his holidays in the south of the country and headed to the scene of Spain's worst aviation disaster for more than 20 years.

The airport was immediately closed as firefighters aboard 11 engines tried to tackle a blaze on the plane, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82. Helicopters circled above, dousing the wreckage and surrounding wildfires with water. Forty-five ambulances were sent to the scene in what one rescue worker said was the city's biggest rescue effort since the al-Qaeda bombing of March 11, 2004.

Initial reports suggested that an engine on the left hand side of the aircraft caught fire as the plane headed down the runway, impeding its take-off and sending it careening off onto a grassy area near the terminal building. The smoke could be seen several kilometres away.

El Pais reported that the aircraft had already attempted one take-off but had had unspecified difficulties. Another newspaper, La Vanguardia, said that the pilot had been unable to lift the plane's nose. The plane had originally been due to take off at 1.05pm.

Flight JK 5022 was on a codeshare with Lufthansa, flight LH 2554, which prompted speculation that many of those aboard were Germans who had transferred on to the aircraft at Madrid after flying in this morning from Munich.

Relatives of those aboard the plane soon began arriving at the airport, where a spokesman said that a room had been set aside for them and psychological counselling was on offer. A similar room was set up at the destination airport on Gran Canaria where anxious relatives complained that they were being kept in the dark.

Injured passengers were taken to at least five hospitals in the Madrid area, Eight injured passengers were taken to the La Paz hospital and a further eight to the Ramon y Cajal. One of the 28 passengers pulled from the plane alive died on the journey. Other Madrid hospitals were told to free up facilities - although it was unclear whether they would be needed given the heavy death toll.

Charred remains were taken to the same makeshift morgue at the city’s main convention centre that was used in the aftermath of the Madrid train bombing.

In the last ten years, 42 people have been killed in plane accidents in Spain. Today's crash might prove even more deadly than one in Bilbao in February 1985, in which 148 people were killed.

The worst plane crash in Spain's history was on March 27, 1977, when two planes collided at Los Rodeos airport in Tenerife, killing 585 people.

Spanair is a subsidiary of the Scandinavian airline SAS, which said in a statement: "Spanair is doing everything possible to assist the Spanish authorities at this difficult time. Spanair will provide further information as soon as it becomes available."

The cause of the crash is not yet known but emergency workers reported that they had recovered the plane’s black box from the wreckage.

The crash came just hours after pilots at the airline threatened to strike over SAS's cost-cutting plans at the struggling Majorca-based airline, which has been making heavy losses.

Its an uncomfortable truth . . . too bad people like you prefer to live with your heads firmly buried in the clouds.

Worshipped by who exactly? Tiger till tomorrow is still a victim of racism despite his wealth and fame . . . in the US a black man is a "celebrity" as long as he is still "entertaining" the audience and keeping up TV ratings. Where is Mike Tyson today?
Lets see how long that ad will last shall we?

I said nothing about them giving a damn about me . . . i simply used them as an example to buttress a point, i'm assuming you're intelligent here but i may be wrong.

Dont be so ignorant . . . Mary Lou Retton anyone?

you simply have to be white with tiny talent.

What an unbelievable question? Serena remains the only woman since Steffi Graff to hold ALL FOUR major tennis slams at once. Venus has won Wimbledon 5 times second only to the likes of Navratilova and King. Between then both sisters have won 14 grand slams . . .
Venus and Serena have won 3 olympic gold medals for the US in 4 years.

What has Sharapova and Kournikova done?

What a self-denigrating negro you are.

Just because some of us don't look for racism in everything does not make me a self-denigrating Negro.

I have better things to do with my time than watch the Olympics just to reason like you!!!

You are always talking about Black vs White racism but the last time I check Blacks were no different. Go make a topic about Black vs White racism.

T[b]he whites can worship whoever they want. No one stop BET from Worshiping Black athletes. [/b]

[quote author=Tayo-D link=topic=160606.msg2680029#msg2680029 date=1219178617]SeanT21,
There are some underlying principles by which God works that we will need to understand before we can fully appreciate a situation such as this one. One thing about God is that He is the complete "gentleman". It is when we do not understand His ways that many misinterprete His actions, case in point - Olabowale's response here.

Answering your question directly, God did not force Jesus to die on the Cross, just as He will never force you to do a thing. Here's a scripture that should give you a better understanding of the Ways of God: For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure - Phillipians 2:13

That scripture is very clear as to how God gets His will accomplished - He persuades us to be willing, before He inspires the doings. Anything that is contrary to this is not of God and it isn't blessed. God has never and will never violate anyone's will. He made us free moral agencies and He respects his own laws.[/quote]Thanks TAYO!!!

Another phoney noise maker. Go hang myself because i dare to say Phelps hasnt done anything to warrant all the attention? Give me a big big break . . . face it you white worshippers . . . would the media be going gaga where Phelps black?

The Williams sisters have achieved far more than any other tennis female player in America in the last 20 years YET the faces of female tennis are two Russian blondes (one who hasnt actually ever won anything of note).

Yes Phelps "worked hard" to win 8 gold medals, its not so hard to win 8 gold medals in swimming when its essentially the same thing over different distances with the same opponents time and time again. Try winning 8 gold medals as a track athlete or boxer or football player . . .

The media loves Phelps not just because he is a "hero" but because he is just one more white face to hype. Shawn Johnson, Nastia Liukin are being heralded as "heroes" too, infact there are now ads running on TV with their faces . . . where are the Williamses who won another doubles gold here for the US? Their faces arent made for the TV?

Silly Nigerians falling over themselves to "love" another white american who doesnt give 2 shakes of a ducks tail whether they exist.

Where is Carl Lewis whose record of winning both the 100m and 200m still stands since 1984?

O Please stop with ya ll Political Correctness crap!!

Lebron, MJ, Mohamed Ali, Tyson Gay, Kobe, Mike Tyson, Tiger Woods are all worship!!!

I guess you don't watch TV because If You did You would have seen a commercial with that black swimmer in it.

The last time I checked the Williams Sister did not give a damn about You!!!

Oh yes, The reason Nastia and Shawn are worship because they were the first Americans to win gold medals and silver medals.

You have to do something great to get worship by the american media!!! What Did Venus and Serena do that was soo great?

Shit Happens!!!

Play A Character In A Movie?:

If I could play any character in a movie, it will be The Mother of Jesus in The Passion Of The Christ!

The world is definitely comming to an end.

I can not believe someone actually made this thread.

Why are U mad at him?

The Man is doing his best and you are on here criticizing him. The reason the media loves him is because he is a hero. Can you named me anyone that have won so many medals at just 1 Olympic. He worked so hard to achieve all those medals. ALL THE ATTENTION HE IS GETTING COMES WITH BEING SUCCESSFULL!!!

If he was a Nigerian, He would have been named a hero. Since he is American, HE IS A PHONY!!!

[center]GO AND HANG YOURSELF while He Swim to victory!! [/center]


[center]Your talent is God's gift to you.
What you do with it is your gift back to God.

olabowale:
SeanT21, you ask good questions. But what are you doing with the answers? Your question here could be better if you inquire in addition, is it possible for the God to force His coequal if that coequal is truly a God to be crucified? Sorry, I know am a muslim, but the topic is very tempting.

OK, Give me ya take on it.

I need People take on this.
