    Could have been much worse.

    Hopefully everyone injured will recover.

      16 injured been reported now. The worst is a FA who sustained multiple injuries but who is stable.

          I wonder where the touchdown point was if they didn't manage to stop an ATR on the long runways of Fiumicino.

            Apparently it veered off-runway.

              I bet that the collapsed gear was the cause, not the result, of the excursion.
              Now what was the cause of the collapse?

                French engineering.

                  With a very slick move - during the night Alitalia repainted the ATR completely white, so the blame goes straight to the Romanian crew.




                  Now, no Alitalia identification can be seen. Just the plane's registration number and the romanian flag.

                      One wonders how they could be allowed to paint the wreck with the accident investigation on-going.

                        Wow....that's crazy. Is that standard procedure?

                          This happened before in the aftermath of an incident or accident - maybe not within the first two hours but after a few days, for example the Airbus A310 of Hapag-Lloyd after landing without fuel in Vienna, the Austrian Fokker 70 which landed short of the planned runway in Munich or the MD-81 "Dana Viking" of SAS which made an emergency landing shortly after take-off from Stockholm.

                          It may be not a standard-procedure but it is not uncommon.

                            I am not sure whether there are any "standard" procedures for repainting an accident aircraft, but all airlines do it if the airline is still recognizable on the wreckage and if they have the possibility and the means.

                            Well - why not? I doubt that the paint has anything to do with the accident

                              Painting out an airline name or logo, or using tape to do so, is tried and tested procedure in accident aftermaths, but painting over a whole airframe is pretty unusual. So I would sort of question how appropriate this was and whether interfering with accident site evidence was an issue.
