BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) -- A large cargo plane crashed at the end of a runway and split in two while trying to take off Sunday at Brussels airport, authorities said.

The plain was about to depart for a scheduled flight to Bahrain when it crashed.

Four of the five crew members on board the Boeing 747 were slightly injured and were hospitalized, said Jan Van der Cruysse, spokesman at Brussels Airport.

"The plane is very seriously damaged," he said. The aircraft cracked in two after it crashed at the end of runway 220, which lies very close to a rail line and houses.

Rail services to and from the airport were suspended as a safety precaution, however the crash did not affect other flights at the airport, Van der Cruysse said.

Francis Vermeiren, mayor of the nearby town of Zaventem, said the plane did not catch on fire when it crashed after attempting to take off. Vermeiren was coordinating rescue efforts at the airport.

"The plane is not on fire but it has split into two," he told VRT radio.

Firefighters coated the wings of the plane with special fire retardant foam as a precaution because the plane was still full of jet fuel, the mayor said.

He said the plane was on a scheduled flight to Bahrain. It was not known what cargo the plane was carrying.

Vermeiren said the pilot told rescue authorities he heard a large noise while trying to take off just after midday. It was not yet clear what caused the crash.

The plane is owned by Kalitta Air, a cargo carrier based at Willow Run Airport near Ypsilanti, Michigan, and makes regular flights from Brussels, officials said. A person who answered the telephone at Kalitta Air said Sunday morning that no one was immediately available to comment.

however the crash did not affect other flights at the airport, Van der Cruysse said.

"Attention passengers: We will now begin our flight to Lisbon. As we take off, please disregard the plane broken in half like a Butterfinger bar at the end of our runway."

Yeah, Ascona may have some splainin' to do.

I think he was also a little too quick with the denial.

It's like the kid who breaks a dish, and less than a second later shouts "i didn't do it!"

Some electrician who'd been working for GM for 28 years took some pics of some production Camaro shells being assembly line tested and his son got hold of the pictures and leaked them out. The dude got shitcanned. :unsure:

haha, but really? i think these pics are just from a collegue who went to have a look and threw them pics on the puters for us . . .

Shit Ascona, it's a shame that you don't work on planes in the US. My girlfriend is flying to NYC tomorrow morning and I'm not sure I want her to come back Very Happy

the girlfriend thing is what really narrowed it down. theyre somewhat of a rarity around these parts.

by Aristotle Sat Jun 07, 2008 6:17 pm

hahaha, yeah, the g/f thing made me think guapo, after thinking about it for a bit. the 5.6 actually threw me off, because i didn't associate the wookie part with guapo.

Wookie is what my real-world friends call me, to tell the truth. The 5.6 refers to my truck.

you don't come across as the type of guy people would call wookie :unsure:

yeah, i got the truck part, but it was only after i was sure it was you. :roflmao:

also, i didn't know you were called wookie. that's pretty funny.

man people would kill for a nickname like that.

I think it's awesome how it stopped short of the flimsy hog wire type fence. Well the engines anyway.

by Aristotle Sun Jun 08, 2008 1:33 pm

those hog fences certainly are much tougher than i thought.
