Plane Crash In Turkey

An Atlasjet plane crashed in the mountains in South Turkey. All 57 people on board were killed, including a 6 week old baby that was flying to see her Grandparents for the first time. Sad!

The cause of the crash is still unknown. It is said that the pilot saw the airport, and let them know that they were inbound, but then they lost communication with him. So this plane was close to landing, but they never made it.

Also on board was a group of academics, who planned to take part in a physics conference at a University. A friend of one of the passenger's told reporters that his friend was on his way to his Grandmother's funeral.

All I wonder, is what happened, for this plane to go down so close to home...
