THY Avro with ~77 on board. Down on final approach. Reports from a hospital say walking patients, at least 3 so far, so that's good. Let's hope they're all as good. No reports of fire, so that's good.

It crashed into military territory in Diyarbakir. Accordíng to n-tv, the airport was closed for some time because of bad weather and this plane was one of the first who landed there after it re-opened.

CNN has now issued a new email confirming that it is in fact an RJ100; it also says that there is a baby among the six survivors and that the death toll now stands at 70.

8 days into 2003 and already 2 plane crashes, not a great start, let's hope the trend doesn't continue.

Oh my, another TK ARJ lost. Terrible news indeed . Just why are three out of four ARJ crashes TK´s???
When I first heard the news, I checked the OAG and it said 737-400 - that gave me a rather chilly feeling down my spine, as I had been on two TK 734s just three weeks ago...
Anyway, hope there are some more survivours than early reports suggest.
