A Turkish Airlines (THYAO.IS) passenger plane with 135 people aboard crashed while attempting to land at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport on Wednesday, authorities said.
The plane broke up when it hit the ground next to the runway.
Still images shown on Dutch television showed the plane on the ground, with the tail section of the fuselage broken off, and a wide crack in the fuselage just behind cockpit. The jetliner did not appear to be on fire.
As many as 50 passengers escaped injury, the CNBC Turkey channel said.
Officials at Istanbul's Ataturk airport said the plane had departed earlier from Istanbul.
THY was not immediately available for comment.
