"At this stage, 157 injured people are in hospital and one of our fellow citizens has lost their life," Turkish Health Minister Fahrettin Koca told reporters.
The plane was apparently buffeted by strong winds and heavy rain lashing Istanbul, Turkey's largest city. The accident, which he attributed to bad weather,"could have had more serious consequences," he said. Some sprayed water jets onto the severed body of the aircraft, while others could be seen climbing up onto the plane to comb through the cabin.According to NTV, Turhan said the plane broke after a"strong landing" at Sabiha Gokcen, one of two main international airports in Istanbul.
There had been very strong winds and rain in the area before the incident and poor weather conditions in Istanbul, particularly in winter, often lead to the cancellation of flights.The plane had landed at the airport at 1518 GMT, the private DHA news agency reported.
