Dutch investigators determine cause of Turkish airlines crash
Dutch investigators say a technical failure caused the crash of a Turkish airlines flight last month at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport. Investigators found that a faulty altimeter caused the plane's autopilot to shut down the engines as it made its approach to land. The Boeing 737-800 crashed a kilometre short of the runway, killing nine people on board. The plane's black box showed that the altimeter also malfunctioned during two previous landings. The Dutch Safety Authority says it has issued a warning to Boeing as a result of its investigation.
