Kalitta Air Crash

Calvin used to enjoy watching planes flying over the Changi Beach towards Singapore Airport until he watched news of an airplane crash on TV. As parents, we did not realise how it had impacted him until we took him to his favourite spot. He was clinging to us and each time a plane flew overhead, he started crying in fright. So, that ended our pleasure rides to Changi Beach to watch airplanes.

He is much older now and enjoys watching car crash tests. So, it is save to show him another airplane crash.

This crash happened on 25 May 2008. Kalitta Air B747-200F aircraft overran the Runway 20 at Brussels and broke in two. It was a cargo plane and no casualties were reported.



So, how did it ended up this way? See CNN news on it.



Richard Kebabjian has kept a very good record of airplane , the statistic of such accidents and their causes.
