Being on the plane I did not thought I would make it.The pilot warned us and said that one of the engines failed and that we must prepare for an emergency landing not knowing that it is on a roof.
One of the survivors.

I just considered it to be interesting. In fact, accident photo means injured people and bad reputation to flying, but I cannot anymore change my rating. I wish that those involved are in better shape than "Islander".
