On August 20, 2008 (Lunar Calendar July 20, 2008), the Madrid airport crash killed 153 people in three days of Spanish mourning. At 14:30 on August 20, local time, a Spanish Airlines MD-82 aircraft suddenly burned during the takeoff at the Madrid airport, causing at least 153 people to die and only 19 to survive. It is that the plane planned to fly to the Canary Islands suddenly jumped to the right when it just left the ground, then burned, and quickly broke into fragments, the body across the scene, sadly unbearable. Rescue workers said that they could not distinguish the remains in front was a passenger plane.
