El Al's B737 plane breaks a wing and grounded in Amsterdam

An El Al's Boeing 737 airplane with 150 passengers and crew on board, had an accident at Amsterdam's Schiphol International Airport on Friday morning, in which one of its wing broke. None of the passengers and crewmembers was hurt.

 

It is understood that while being towed off the runaway, the plane's wing hit a fence and broke. An initial check found that the accident occurred because of heavy fog in the airport area.

 

The El Al Boeing 737 was grounded after the crash, and the passengers were sent to nearby hotels in the city to wait for another flight that apparently will take them back to Israel on Saturday night.
