Wake turbulence possibility as cause of Amsterdam plane crash is gaining
credence. A boeing 757 jet belonging to Northwest airlines landed shortly before Turkish Airlines (THY) Jet.

Northwest Airlines confirmed that their aircraft landed at 10:24 a.m . According to control tower records, THY jet was four miles behind. The control tower made a mistake and did not allow five miles between the
two aircrafts. It gave permission for THY jet to land. THY jet crashed at 10:26 am.

Despite that often there is a series of causes and circumstances for such tragedies, it seems the turbulence is one of the reasonable causes. As some textbooks about wake turbulence say, The Boeing 757, for example, has a relatively short wing and large power plant for the weight of the aircraft. The wake turbulence that is produced by the 757 is equivalent to that of a much heaver aircraft. RIP

Some people do not understand what they read. It says Northwest Airlines' Boeing 757 landed before Turkish Airlines' Boeing 737 not Northwest Airlines Boeing 737. So the lesson is not do your homework but it is read properly!
