A Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 crashed short of a runway while landing at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, killing at least nine of the 134 people aboard and injuring more than 50 others, according to local officials and the airline.

Rescue workers help passengers after a Turkish Airlines passenger crashed while attempting to land in Amsterdam.
The accident, which happened in good weather and killed both pilots, is the third fatal accident involving a big jetliner in Europe since August. While it may be days or weeks before investigators get a clear picture of what happened, Wednesday's crash contributes to what experts say is a recent rise in commercial-flight accident rates across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East and Latin America.
The frequency of major crashes of Western-built jetliners in Europe jumped by more than one-third last year compared with 2007, according to the latest statistics released by the International Air Transport Association, or IATA. The rate climbed to almost one accident per two million flights in 2008, compared with one in roughly three million flights throughout the preceding three years.
Flying remains extremely safe across developed countries, with mechanical problems posing less of a risk than ever. Still, there are signs that traditional safety programs by airlines and aviation authorities are losing some of their effectiveness in further driving down accident rates. Great Britain has among the world's lowest rate of air accidents, but incidents such as midair near-misses between planes have been rising recently, according to information gathered by the British Civil Aviation Authority and reviewed by The Wall Street Journal.
From a ten-year low of fewer than 14 "high-risk" incidents of various types per million flights in the U.K. during most of 2004 and 2005, the rate roughly doubled by the end of last year to almost 29 incidents per million flights.

At Least Nine Die in Plane Crash
In the U.S., during just the past three months, a pair of high-profile accidents that didn't result in fatalities and the crash of a commuter turboprop that killed 50 people ended more than two years of what had been the safest period ever for the country's airlines.
European and U.S. air-safety regulators are cooperating to identify and deal with issues including runway-collision hazards, engine reliability in very cold temperatures and subtle computer malfunctions that can put jumbo jetliners out of control. But some basic hazards persist.
According to IATA, different types of collisions on the ground accounted for more than 40% of all major jetliner crashes around the world last year. The worst safety record in 2008 was recorded in the Commonwealth of Independent States -- countries which used to be part of the former Soviet Union -- where major jetliner accidents occurred 16 times more frequently than in Europe.
On Wednesday, the plane's impact in a muddy field within sight of its intended runway -- as well as early eyewitness and passenger reports -- suggests something went wrong as the six-year-old jet was preparing to touch down.
"You see that because of a lack of speed it literally fell out of the sky," Pieter van Vollenhoven, head of the Dutch Safety Authority investigating the cause, told a radio interviewer after visiting the crash site, according to the Associated Press. The flight data recorders have been found and will be examined by an international team of experts.
Turkish Airlines flight 1951 from Istanbul was on its final approach to land when it slammed into a field short of the runway and broke into three pieces. Airport emergency services arrived, and 60 ambulances took the wounded to 11 hospitals around the region, officials said.
Six of the injured were in very serious condition, and an additional 49 were severely or lightly injured, officials from the region and the airport said. Several of the dead, including three crew members in the cockpit, were in the crumpled plane almost 10 hours after the accident, the officials said.
Rescue efforts moved smoothly in part because the plane didn't catch fire. This is Turkish Airlines' first fatal crash since 2003, when a regional jet on a domestic flight crashed on landing, killing 75 of the 80 people aboard, according to the Aviation Safety Network Web site.
Turkish Airlines has a good overall safety record and has performed well on spot-inspections at airports, according to a European Union aviation-safety official.
