A Boeing 747 cargo plane belonging to Michigan-based Kalitta Air crashed at the end of a runway and split in two while trying to take off Sunday at the Brussels Zaventem Airport. Mercifully the plane did not catch fire, although firefighters coated the wings with a special fire-retardant foam as a precaution, as its fuel tanks were still filled with highly flammable jet fuel. No causalities were caused, but four of the five crew members on board the aircraft were slightly injured and were hospitalized, according to the authorities at the Brussels Airport. The reasons to cause the four-engine Boeing 747 bound to Bahrain to crash and break in two are under investigation. Source: Telegraph.co.uk
