It was on our TV news a few minutes after the plane went down, and our TV stations kept crossing back for updates. We could see people getting out onto the wing of the plane, and then onto the ferries.
We were told that the plane flew into a flock of birds, and two engines had smoke coming from them which filled the plane. I daresay that birds got sucked into the engines. They said it occurred about 3 minutes after take off.
So far our news reports say that no-one was killed or seriously injured. Thank the Lord.
