Plane Crash at Schiphol Airport

This was a scary day...a little too close to home. Schiphol is our home airport in Amsterdam and on this day a plane coming in from Turkey crashed during landing just a few miles away from the airport and our work office. To make things scarier we were flying home from Italy on this morning, we were 10 minutes from landing when we were told the airport was closed and we had to land in Belgium. Of course as soon as we landed we got on our phones to see what was wrong and we learned of the crash. We then had to buy train tickets to get home from Belgium to Amsterdam. It was a long day of traveling, over 12 hours total by the time we got home. Thankfully many people survived the crash!
