Absolutely horrible! (This is an irrational fear of mine. I am not sure why or how it came to be, but I still find myself getting tense when I hear planes that sound too close.) I am surprised the death toll is just 15 because it could have been a lot worse.

The link above says 15 buildings were destroyed, but four crew members and at least 33 people on the ground were killed.

It was a cargo plane, so not many people onboard, thank goodness.

Horrific scene. I hope it was an accident, not deliberate.
 
These photos are surreal. So disturbing.

It does indeed seem like an accident - foggy weather, close to airport. For some reason, the pilot missed the runway?

Thank you for that clarification. I read 15 people killed somehow.

Me too, but I know where mine comes from, Lockerbie.

This is horrific but, awful to say but thank god it was a cargo plane and not a 747 full of passengers!

a while back

Video of crash by passing bus

Cargo Boeing 747 crashes at Bagram Airfield

He got her wings level before impact - that's some flying!

Fog seems hard to grasp as resulting in a crash.I am wondering if something went wrong with the navigation equipment as opposed to the crew flying airliner into the ground ??
