Wind Shear Causes Thai Plane Crash?


MIA/Agencies, Sep 17, 2007

Phuket, Thailand: September 17, 2007 – As per reports the investigators searched the charred remains of a plane on Monday that crashed and killed 89 people, majority of whom were foreigners.

The crash occurred on Thailand's resort island of Phuket, while an airline official said wind shear might have caused a crash.

The budget One-Two-Go Airlines flight was carrying 123 passengers and seven crew from Bangkok to Phuket when it skidded off a runway Sunday while landing in driving wind and rain, catching fire and engulfing some passengers in flames as others kicked out windows to escape.

Deputy Transport Minister Sansern Wongcha-um told reporters that 89 people, including 53 foreigners, were killed.
