Sad to read.
Thoughts go to those involved, their relatives and friends.

Can't repress a certain bewilderedness when looking at the pictures though:
That aircraft crashed on threshold (as reported) but looks like it's been hitting a mountain at 250 kts. The amount of destruction is strangely severe.
Moreover the wheather reported good conditions.

I heard that this plane was only about a year old too.......I am sure I am stating the blindingly obvious, but I don't think we have heard the full story here.

First flew 12th August last year.

Certainly we have not heard the full story yet and never have at this stage
