As can be seen from the fuselage photos, the head of the aircraft has obvious depressions, and the fuselage is also stained with blood.

After the accident, the airline said, the captain contacted the air traffic control tower at Ataturk International Airport to request emergency landing permission, and then the plane circled in the air to release fuel and finally landed safely.
