==Accidents and incidents== [[File:Bijlmerramp2 without link.jpg|thumb|The crash site of [[El Al Flight 1862]] in 1992]] [[File:Crash Turkish Airlines TK 1951 complete site.jpg|thumb|The crash site of [[Turkish Airlines Flight 1951]] on 25 February 2009]] *On 14 November 1946, a [[C-47 Skytrain|Douglas C-47]] operated by KLM from London approached Schiphol during bad weather conditions. The first two attempts to land failed. During the third attempt, the pilot realized that the airplane was not lined up properly with the runway. The aircraft made a sharp left turn at low speed, causing the left wing to hit the ground. The airplane crashed and caught fire, killing all 26 people on board. *On 4 October 1992, [[El Al Flight 1862]], a [[Boeing 747-200]]F cargo jet en route to [[Tel Aviv]], lost both right-wing engines (#3 and #4) just after taking off from Schiphol and crashed into an apartment building in the [[Bijlmer]] neighbourhood of Amsterdam while attempting to return to the airport. A total of 47 people were killed, including the plane's crew of three and a non-revenue passenger. In addition to these fatalities, 11 people were seriously injured and 15 people received minor injuries. *On 4 April 1994, [[KLM Cityhopper Flight 433]], a [[Saab 340]] to [[Cardiff]], returned to Schiphol after setting the number two engine to flight idle because the crew mistakenly believed that the engine suffered from low oil pressure because of a faulty warning light. On final approach at a height of {{cvt|90|ft}}, the captain decided to [[go-around]] and gave full throttle on only the number one engine, leaving the other in flight idle. The airplane rolled to the right, pitched up, stalled and hit the ground at 80 degrees bank. Of the 24 people on board, three were killed, including the captain. Nine others were seriously injured. *On 25 February 2009, [[Turkish Airlines Flight 1951]], a [[Boeing 737-800]] from Istanbul crashed on approach, just {{cvt|1|km|mi|1}} short of the airport's Polderbaan runway. The plane carried 128 passengers and 7 crew on board. 9 people were killed and a further 86 were injured, including six with serious injuries. Four of the dead were employees of [[Boeing]], involved in an advanced radar deal with Turkey. An initial report from the [[Dutch Safety Board]] revealed that the left [[radio altimeter]] had failed to provide the correct height above the ground and suddenly reported {{cvt|-8|ft}}. As a result of this the [[autothrottle]] system closed the thrust levers to idle, as it is programmed to reduce thrust when below {{cvt|27|ft}} radio altitude. This eventually resulted in a dropping airspeed that was not acted upon until it was too late to recover, and the aircraft [[Stall (flight)|stalled]] and crashed in a field. *On 23 February 2017, a [[Bombardier Dash 8 Q400|Bombardier Dash-8 Q400]] operated by [[Flybe (1979-2020)|Flybe]] suffered a [[Dash 8 landing gear incidents|collapse]] of its right landing gear after landing at the Oostbaan.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/flybe-plane-amsterdam-crash-landing-storm-doris-glasgow-edinburgh-birmingham-a7596246.html |title=Flybe plane crash lands on runway at Amsterdam Schiphol airport |website=[[Independent.co.uk]] |date=23 February 2017 |access-date=27 December 2020 |archive-date=11 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201111192237/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/flybe-plane-amsterdam-crash-landing-storm-doris-glasgow-edinburgh-birmingham-a7596246.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The plane took off from [[Edinburgh Airport|Edinburgh]] after a 1.5-hour delay and had to battle [[storm Doris]] throughout the flight and during landing. None of the 59 passengers and four crew was injured in the incident, but the aircraft sustained significant damage. *On 29 May 2024, an airport worker died after being ingested into the engine of an [[Embraer E-Jet family|Embraer 190]] operating as [[KLM Cityhopper]] Flight 1341.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Accident Embraer ERJ-190STD PH-EZL |url=https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/388520 |access-date=2024-05-29 |website=aviation-safety.net}}</ref> The incident occurred on the airport's [[Airport apron|apron]] during [[Pushback (aviation)|pushback]] as the aircraft was preparing to depart for [[Billund Airport|Billund]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-29 |title=Person killed by jet engine at Amsterdam's Schiphol airport |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0dd9pxnd0lo |access-date=2024-05-29 |website=BBC News |language=en-GB}}</ref> Investigators from the [[Dutch Safety Board]] determined that the worker intentionally jumped into the running engine to commit suicide.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Schiphol worker intentionally jumped into aircraft engine to kill himself {{!}} NL Times |url=https://nltimes.nl/2024/05/30/schiphol-worker-intentionally-jumped-aircraft-engine-kill |access-date=2024-05-31 |website=nltimes.nl |language=en}}</ref>
