A plane flying from Edinburgh has been evacuated after crash-landing at a Dutch airport.
A passenger filmed out the window of the Flybe plane as its propellers scraped against the runway surface just after touchdown.
Other footage posted online showed the plane's landing gear collapsing and the aircraft tilting to the right the moment it landed.

It happened on Thursday afternoon at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.
Pictures on social media show the plane leaning on one side after coming to a halt, with the wing touching the ground and emergency services at the scene.
Schiphol Airport tweeted: "The landing gear of a Flybe airplane collapsed during touchdown.
"All passengers are brought to the terminal by bus at the moment.
"No people are injured. Flight operation is up and running again."
Flight BE1284 had left Edinburgh at 2.10pm.
Flybe said: "We can confirm that there are no injuries and all passengers have been bussed to the airport terminal.
"Our primary concern is for the welfare of the passengers and crew."
The company later said that all 59 passengers left the airport and continued on with their journeys. The firm says it intends to contact each of them to offer support.
A spokeswoman added: We have sent a specialist team to offer assistance to the investigation and we will now do all we can to understand the cause of this incident."
