@27vet: I don’t think there are any reports that suggest the aircraft hit any buildings.
What a pity…last LHR trip we were circling around for a good 35 minutes waiting to land!
missed approach theory does sit in, the inquiry is now under way.
not denying that…but clearly the crash news is more important than ‘fungus hits Afghan poppies’? 😎
half of airliners.net already seems to be booked and ready. 😎
Just got up and trying to get myself updated on the crash and it seems its off almost all major websites such as BBC, or is in some corner as news. :confused:
stunning!

Is it just me, or does it look on photos 3 and 6 that the black box has been opened?
seems fine to me.
Latests AFP reports from Libya suggest the aircraft exploded upon landing and totally disintegrated itself according to local airports security sources.
I wonder what kind of information and transparency can we expect from Libya.
yes, looks like no one survived. Terrible.
The BBC reports suggests that the weather was favorable and sunny.

Yes, I don’t see why a government should be running an airline, it may well be a successful arm but in todays scenario it does not make sense. It used to, when it was a thing about pride and all but if it goes wary then its the tax payer who ultimately pays up to keep it afloat. More than that you run a business by the markets, and not by national symbolism. That era is gone.
Take Air India for example, bleeding like a man who has been shot in the head, but yet flying by public bail-out money because its the ‘national flag carrier’. Whatever that means in todays world.
Shouldn’t the concept of ‘national airline’ be obsolete and done with by now? :rolleyes:
