 I've heard in the news a Spanair MD-82 has crashed. Apparently one of the engines was the cause for the tragedy. My thoughts go to all the victims and their friends and relatives.

 According the latest info available it could have been anything. The aircraft apparently lifted off but then failed to continue the take-off and descended again before it fell into pieces when it hit the ground.

Among the possible causes are:
Wrongly calculated Vr, engine failure with bad luck or a combination of both or...
The Flight Recorder has been found but it is damaged to some degree.

@all: Please update this thread as more information becomes available.

Wish I could write about something more cheerful.

 Hello guys...here the latest on the accident (in Spanish only...)

Briefly:

The flaps/slats were not set for takeoff

Warning system which would detect the slats not properly set for takeoff INOP

...and bit of bad luck.

Suddenly, nothing happened again!
