Question about Turkish Airlines Flight 1951 Crash
This article gives a list of fatalities by nationality. One detail jumped out at me.
Were the Americans all seated in the same section of the plane? At least three of the crew killed were in the cockpit; it would make sense if the Americans just had the misfortune of clustering in a section that, like the cockpit, sustained heavy damage.
