  my god, not another.
  
  A320 is a popular model of aircraft used by many European airlines, this will need to be investigated.
  
  I wonder if it could be terrorists?

  The company is using the term "crashed" apparently... Not looking good for a landing without casualties unfortunately

  Sorry I didn't realise you were worried about her as you said Portugal and it was flying from Barcelona. Can't imagine how you must've felt for those few minutes
