You're not ill, you can't be

Abstract

Six and a half years after Holland's worst ever air disaster, a Dutch parliamentary commission of inquiry has severely criticised the government's response, admitting for the first time the link between the crash and a number of unexplained illnesses BIJLMER, AMSTERDAM: 4 OCTOBER 1992, 6:35PM Henk Prijt: 'We were in the living room, watching the sports programme on television, like so many others in our neighbourhood did that Sunday evening. It was a few minutes after sunset when I noticed an airplane flying low. Low-flying airliners are nothing special here since we live near Schiphol and the route over our heads is one of the busiest for Amsterdam airport. But this particular plane did something strange: it flew in the wrong direction. I didn't pay much attention and it flew out of my sight. Shortly after, however, there it was again, coming right at us as we stared out of the window. My son yelled and dashed for the back 8 of the house. As he looked out the door he saw something no one "g should ever have to see: the huge plane plunging into the next block, Jŝ ome 250 metres to the east of our building.' Q
