Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 5, 2005 The following was published overhere: "At least 30 people are feared dead when a Boeing 737-200 of Mandala with 117 occupants crashed soon after take-off from Medan airport. According a doctor at least 60 people perished. Fears are all passengers plus people on the ground were killed in this accident. The Boeing 737-200 PK-RIM crashed 500 meters from the runway and came down in a populated area. Eye-witnesses reported, also houses and cars were destroyed. The plane was en-route from Medan to the Indonesian capital Jakarta and according the Indonesian radio some high-ranking officials were onboard, like the gouverner of North-Sumatra and the gouverner of Atjeh" That all may RIP !!!

's that something customary for airline companies to do? 6892[/snapback] Most, if not all airline companies will do something to cover up their livery and/or title, they think that they can trick peoples from being able to identify the plane, but obviously none of these attempts fool us or heck, anyone...dunno why peoples are stupid enough to do that futile attempts to "protect" their companies... Anyway what've caused the crash? Engine failure? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radzi 2 Report post Posted September 5, 2005 Some casualities on ground as well. Look out at how densely populated the area around the airport is. In MES aircraft normally land on 05 and takeoff 23. Aircraft crashed at the end of the runway here. Check out the photo of MES approach here. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/456978/L/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted September 5, 2005 WOW, both ends have heavily populated areas: no wonder something would go amiss when a crash/aborted take-off would occur Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isaac 0 Report post Posted September 9, 2005 My condolences ONE MALAYSIAN is CONFIRMED DEAD 6925[/snapback] He's a Sabahan. By the way, anybody remembers the 3 Sabahan that died on SQ6 that crashed on October 31st, 2000 ? There wasn't any news about them after the tragic crash. I guess all their bodies were sent back to BKI on MH69 (was still operated by 333 at the time) ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
