According to the New York Times 42 people were killed in a terrible plane crash in bejing. 54 were also injured on this terrible Tuesday night. The thought reason for this was that the runway was very foggy and the jet could not land resulting in a crash. Immediately after crashing the jet burst into flames killing many instantly though some died slow and painfully. Enginears are still looking for another cause. Survivors suggest that the plain stayed together until hitting a grassy plane where it burst into flames. The airport swears it was a complete accident and will not happen again.

Hi Blake, didn't know you were in Shawn's class :D
r.i.p for all the people that died. And for the people that are injure hope they get better. Thats why you dont fly in an insecure airplanes. And they should have a safety landing. Finally they should sued the company for the accident!!!!
At times like this I don't think airport can prevent plane crashes. Especially if the reason for this is right, I mean who could had helped with the weather. Other reason why so many airports need to cheek their planes before takeoff they should had been for careful when landing. I mean this year I think it is the 7th plane to crash this year. I looked up on Google I found the following:
• Sept 3, 2010 in Dubai
• Jul 28, 2010 in Pakistan
• Aug 24, 2010 in china
• MAY 22, 2010 in South Asia near India
• Aug 2, 2010 in Alaska
• April 11, 2010 in Russia
This gives them like a warning to make sure next time. And isn't there a light along the runway to land. Or is there is too foggy. They could have adjust the light to the brightest. I hope that it won't happen again.
Blake good job on the report of the plane crash killed peoples ?
lol that was funny.
I hope next time they dont kill everyone!! lol
dang 42 people is alot to get killed. and 52 injured is not good eaither.
well ttyl alyssaaa :)
Airlines really should have a plane for stuff like this, as in the weather, birds, and other possible problems that could occur. Nice article Blake, and I swear I didn't do it.
wow that sucks i feel bad for all thise peoples families. hopefully one day there will be like a danger proof plane
R.I.P. for the people that died on that plane and hope the people that got injured made it through the pain. I know it couldn't have been easy.
"though some died slow and painfully" - that's depressing. Maybe we should get some better anti-fog technology ASAP. The airport swears it was an accident? I disagree, terrorists + fog = trouble. RIP to those who died in the crash, very sad.
Thanks for the ARTICLE blake.
