Analyst Jane's World Airlines Philip butterworth-hayes, from Jane's World Airlines, said,

"It landed a few miles away from the central airport area and came down near a new runway."

"The plane doesn't appear to have broken before landing, was in pretty good shape when touching down. The pilot must have been able to control aircraft right up to landing."

"There doesn't seem to be too much fire damage, but considerable structural damage at rear.

"It may have landed with its nose up, damage at the back was worse than the front, which implies it landed at fairly steep angle."

Looks like they have been lucky so far.

CNN reports only 1 dead.

Aircraft is an B737-800 from Turkish.

Turkish news reports o deads... that should be very good news.

Apparently the Turkish Transportation Minister insists that there were no fatalities.

According to a passenger, the back of the plane hit the ground first shortly after the pilot gave more power to the engines.

Eyewitness made pictures of at least five people under white blankets. He even showed
the pictures on his camera in front of the tv camera.

So there should be at least 5 people killed.
