crash at phuket airport?
Bloke just come in to Yorkshire Inn, all excited about a plane crash at Phuket airport. Sounds like an incoming One2go flight from BKK.
Anyone heard anything?
Weather is prety bad here, wind and rain may be a factor.
Hope no-one is hurt.

Thanks for merging the threads.
On Thai news now, girl translated for me but they are not giving any information on casualties. I guess we must wait for news and best not to speculate.
A few BMs have gone gokarting and there is also a hash run today. Maybe there will be snippets of info. on the grapevine.

TV saying there are dead.. But they cannot identify remains / asses how many at this point..
How they cant check the ones still alive against a passenger manifest boggles the mind.. Breaking news I guess.

I'm now in Summer Breeze with Bill.
Bloke just checked in. He was supposed to be on the flight that crashed but got the flight an hour earlier. He saw the plane crash. It skidded off the runway and caught fire.
According to him the number of casualties will be high.

Until the cause of the accident is known , it is pointless to blame "cheapy-airlines".

Just bad luck Nacha. It could have been any airline landing today. I don't think it being a LCC makes a difference.
