More than 100 people have died in an accident at Milan's Linate airport, according to official sources.
The crash involved a Scandinavian airline SAS aircraft and a private German Cessna.
There were 48 Italian passengers, 56 of other nationalities and six crew on board the Copenhagen-bound flight.
The airliner was taxiing for take-off when it swerved to avoid the light aircraft and crashed into a busy airport building in foggy conditions, initial reports suggest.
It is understood four passengers in the German Cessna died in the accident at the airport on the edge of Italy's financial capital.
Police said the SAS plane tried to avoid the Cessna and rammed into a baggage handling zone which then caught fire.
The Denmark-bound flight had been due to take off at 7.35am local time, the crash happened at 8.15am. Other flights were delayed after the incident.

Let's look at the FACTS. The fact is that over 100 people died in a fire/explosion on the plane. The fact is that such an accident like this has NEVER happened before to this degree.
The fact is that airplanes are traveling at VERY LOW SPEED while taxiing, especially in foggy conditions - and that since visibility was so low (supposedly) then there would have been almost no reaction time for the plan to make any sudden move.
The fact is that we have been told repeatedly that terrorist strikes will occur. But whenever they DO occur, we are told that it is unrelated and there is some absurd explanation. AND WE BELIEVE IT.
The fact is that it is obvious that planes are being shot down, bombed, whatever. You fools believed all the JFK related 'crashes' like TWA, SwissAir, Egypt Air, and CONCORDE (yes, that was most likely a bomb on the plane). WHEN WILL YOU START TO THINK FOR YOURSELVES AND CLUE IN!!!??!!!
I love FreeRepublic and the Freepers in general - but you have all gotten too soft and are far too willing to buy the government spin. Please people, WAKE UP!!!
This airport in Milan: are you acquainted with its layout, particularly at the point of this morning's crash?
Is everyone who doesn't buy YOUR version of things automatically "sheeple"?
People, OUR AIRPORTS ARE UNSAFE. YOU SHOULD BE SCARED TO DEATH TO FLY. 'W' TOLD YOU NOT TO WORRY AND TO GET ON A PLANE. YOU ARE PUTTING YOUR OWN LIFE AT RISK. CAN YOU NOT TELL A TERRORIST ACT WHEN IT IS LOOKING AT YOU IN THE FACE? HAVE YOU BECOME THAT DEPENDENT ON CNN AND THE ITALIAN 'LEADERS'?
Please, open your eyes.
Tenerife, 3/27/77. 583 killed.
But the fact is that it isn't true. Report that back to your leaders.
Are you here to win an argument or see the truth? You went back to 24 years ago? This happened only hours after we have been told repeatedly that there will be reprisals.
I am starting to lose compassion for the dumb suckers who are going to be taken down in the days/weeks to come. Will they be questioning things so much as they are falling to their death or choking down the anthrax? What will it take for people to get a clue?
Can't you see what a true sheeple that you are?
If the prevailing opinion here were that 'this is a cover up' then you would be jumping on the bandwagon. But because the crowd seems to be going the other way, you not only disbelieve me - but you take it to an extreme and call me 'Hitler' (or the current equivalent).
Why am I trying to get the truth out? I am questioning that myself. I believe that I will concentrate on my friends/family and keep them updated on the lies and cover ups. The Sheeple of FR - well, I can only wish you luck.
If you're unacquainted with Tenerife, it's impossible to take you seriously on aircraft accidents.
Why, I've been looking my whole life for the one sole purveyor of the truth. And now I've found it -- it's you!

High-tech Help to Study Airplane Traffic in Airports
By Don Knapp
May 29 — A mid-air collision is one of the worst fears among airplane travelers. But airline passengers should probably be more concerned with what happens once their plane lands at an airport.
Collision hazards, what the Federal Aviation Administration calls “runway incursions,” are rising dramatically at U.S. airports. Last year alone, planes were in danger of colliding with vehicles, objects or people on runways and taxiing ramps 429 times.
But, our people are in power now. And they wouldn't lie to us. </sarcasm>
P.T. Barnum was a genius.
Hmmm. Around the same time Anthrax was last seen in America. I'm not a conspiratorial kind of guy ... but I'm also not a big believer in coincidences ... especially when it is government telling us that these things are just coincidences.

What evidence do you have to offer that would support your assertion that the Concorde crash was likely due to a bomb? The pre-crash video footage does not appear to support such a conclusion.
Excellent point. We must ever be wary. They cover up for the sake of the eoconomy. And our nation's sense of priorities get warped.
