As a complete co-incidence I have ended up staying in a Hotel room overlooking the crashed Jumbo at Brussels airport. It is about 350m from the end of the runway, broken as per the video(seee post below) - it was very lucky - the plane obviously structually failed on the runway and literally ran off the end of it, without really taking off. It is very close to the rail lines into the airport, and if it had got off the ground it would have crashed into Zaventem village.
The thing that strikes you that unlike the recent Heathrow airport incident - there appears nothing happening- a solitary fire engine and van guard ove the site. There are no cranes, no signs of real action or recovery - it's really odd.
