Plane crash in Thailand kills 91 by Delia Cruceru

At least 91 people died in the plane that crashed Sunday on the Phuket province of Thailand. The plane was carrying mostly foreign tourist that were heading on the island for vacation. The flight belongs to the One-Two-Go Airlines and it was carrying 123 passengers and seven crew members from the capital Bangkok to Phuket. Most of the passengers were from France, Germany, Israel, Australia and Britain. The pilot tried to land on a stormy weather when he lost control and the plane crashed. Authorities recovered the black boxes but they say it's too early to say what caused Sunday's crash and that the information on the black boxes will be sent to the United States for analysis. "Hopefully, we will learn in a few weeks the cause of accident," said Transport Minister Theera Haocharoen. Survivors of the crash said that they felt there was something strange as the plane was dropping too fast. "Our plane was landing, you can tell it was in trouble, because it kind of landed then came up again the second time," said John Gerard O'Donnell of Ireland. Other survivors declared that on their way out they had to step over other passengers that were engulfed in flames. "I stepped over them on the way out of the plane," Parinwit Chusaeng told The Nation TV channel. "I was afraid that the airplane was going to explode, so I ran away."
