I didn't even know about this crash. I'd heard last night about the one in the US where the plane crashed into the cemetery, but not this one.

mental how a cross wind can lift such a heavy object like that... as soon as the wing gets crushed...boom. Is it me or do there seem to be many more plane crashes in the last year?

Bad day for aviation yesterday with this one and the one in Montana.
Maybe a good thing that it was cargo rather then passenger but still people died so RIP.

I'm surprised they allowed it to land if the winds were really that bad.
