Plane crash survivor tells of sharp wing dip

A woman who survived this week’s plane crash in Madrid said today the aircraft struggled to gain altitude and one of its wings dipped sharply before the plane went down.

Ligia Palomino Riveros, a 42-year-old Colombian-born Spaniard, also said that after a technical malfunction forced the pilot to abandon a first takeoff attempt, she was under the impression the airline was going to switch planes.
