I'm not sure which of their 737s crashed but there were only a couple of 
survivors. The aircraft was attempting to land in very heavy fog when it hit 
a mountain.
Sad. My heart is with the families and loved ones who lost someone today.

It seems it was one of their 737-200's.

The crash was suppose to occur to the west of the runway. The mountain 
is on the east side
