I understand that a C172 with 4 on board is missing off the coast of Holland. Lets hope that the occupants are ok.

Plane has been found at the Tweede Maasvlakte, a reclamation project for the Rotterdam port. The fire brigade, ambulances and medevac chopper are on site.

All four occupants of the plane are badly injured. One of them has been removed from the plane, the other three are still believed to be in the plane.

Not much really. Just some details on the passengers, two boys aged 10 and 17, a male pilot aged 50 and a male passenger aged 59. All are from Rotterdam. They have all been taken to the hospital. One by helicopter, the rest by ambulance.

At the time of the accident there was a dense sea mist which might have contributed to the accident.

There are some wreckage pictures at the Telegraaf, Volkskrant and no doubt countless other news sites.

I wish them a speedy recovery.
