"The whole of the aeroplane, without any wings or front or rear end, is lying in the field and there are about 50 ambulances, a lot of firetrucks, a couple of helicopters, emergency helicopters, a lot of police, a lot of sirens. <br /><br />"It wasn't really a big crash, or a loud noise because the plane isn't that far from the runway so I think it wasn't going that fast or it wasn't that high to really make a big impact." <br /><br />Nikolai van der Smagt, local worker <br /><br />"I saw the plane lying there in three pieces. <br /><br />"The first people were just getting off the plane and they looked confused. There was a lot a dust, but no fire." <br /><br />Relative at Schiphol airport <br />Jonathan Nip, local resident; <br />"l managed to speak to my children and my family who were in the plane. They said there was panic on board, incredible, people were shouting: 'Get us out of here! Get us out of here!'"
