Bin Laden family killed after private jet landed too far down runway

Mr Bradley confirmed the identities and spellings of the three members of bin Laden’s family as his stepmother Raja Bashir Hashem, 75, her daughter, Sana bin Laden, 53, and Zouheir Anuar Hashem, 56.

Speaking to Sky News, via the Mirror, Moores insisted that the state-of-the-art plane shouldn’t have crashed because it had an array of security features on board that should have prevented it. The plane involved was a Phenom 300, while the pilot, who also died in the crash, hailed from Jordan.

An initial report issued by the Farnborough-based Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) on Friday (August 6) has given the first indication of what happened during the doomed plane’s final approach.

The Saudi-registered Phenom 300 jet, built in 2010, was attempting to land at Blackbushe Airport when it crashed on to dozens of cars and burst into flames.

The four dead were the pilot and three members of a family, which media reports suggest may have been linked to the Bin Laden family.

The aircraft’s traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) indicated that the aircraft was “clear of conflict” and it continued its approach.

It then began “a very high-speed descent”, dropping at up to 3,000ft per minute.

Tyre marks suggested the plane landed just 349m before the end of the declared landing area and 438m before the end of the paved surface – when it required 616m.

“The aircraft became airborne again briefly, before colliding with several cars parked at an adjacent business and coming to rest approximately 70 metres beyond the earth bank”.

North East Hampshire coroner, Andrew Bradley, opened and adjourned an inquest into the deaths this morning, with preliminary post mortem tests showing the four people died from the “effects of fire”.

“They were Saudi Bedouin nationals and going by the UK in the midst of a furlough”, the announcement said.

The Saudi Arabian embassy in London said it was working with the UK officials to repatriate the bodies.

The plane had flown in from Malpensa Airport in Milan.

His billionaire father Mohammed founded a sprawling construction company in the Sunni kingdom.

He died in a plane crash in Saudi Arabia in 1967 on the way to Wednesday his 23rd wife.

The Saudi ambassador to Britain, Prince Mohammed bin Nawaf Al Saud, offered his condolences via Twitter to the family of the late Mohammed bin Laden over the crash Friday, but he did not name the victims.

The al-Qaeda leader was killed by US special forces in Pakistan in 2011.
