Investigators have taken detailed photos of the wreckage of a Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 and analyzed its black box recordings.

They are trying to piece together why the plane lost speed and crashed into a field near Amsterdam's main airport. The accident has killed nine people and injured 86.

A team was working at the crash scene on Thursday morning, checking every part of the wreckage in their search for useful information.

Flight TK 1959 from Istanbul fell out of the sky about three kilometers short of the runway at Schiphol Airport on Wednesday morning.

On impact, it separated into three pieces, spraying luggage and debris across a muddy farmer's field.

Emergency services evacuated the injured to nearby hospitals - six were still in critical condition.

Spaarna Hospital near Amsterdam was one of them.
