Spanair: Several failures in crash
23 August 2008A combination of factors is likely to have caused the plane crash at Madrid Airport which left 153 people dead, Spain’s civil aviation chief has said.
Manuel Batista said failure in one of the Spanair jet’s two engines should not have been enough to cause a crash.
New footage of the tragedy shows the plane struggling to gain altitude but does not show any explosion as it was taking off, contrary to some reports.
