BANGKOK AIRWAYS CRASH: NEWS TIMELINE

It's now a little over 2½ hours since Bangkok Airways flight PG266 crashed on the Thai island of Koh Samui at around 2.30pm local time. The ATR-72 aircraft from Krabi is reported to have been carrying 68 passengers and 4 crew. As of now (5.00pm) one person, the captain, is reported to have died and 41 passengers have been injured.
During the last few hours I have been monitoring the breaking news within the English language media and websites, and the timeline of how and where this story first appeared is detailed below.
-----
2:39pm
First reports of an incident at Samui airport appear on the Thaivisa.com forum, mentioning coverage from the Thai language television networks. There is confusion over the airline involved with several mentions of Bangkok Airways and one of Thai Air Asia.

2:48pm
The news spreads to Twitter.

3:05pm
The Nation is the first English language media website to report anything. Its first report says: "A Bangkok Airways plane caught fire Tuesday afternoon after it skidded out of and crashed into the Control Tower Building while landing at its Samui Airport Tuesday afternoon. The accident happened at 2.30pm. The flight arrived from Krabi. Several passengers were injured."

3:12pm
The Associated Press, AFP and the BBC have published brief information about an accident involving an aircraft on Koh Samui.

3:16pm
The Bangkok Post reports: "10 people are reported to have died" in the crash.

3.20pm
The Nation updates its report as news comes in, quoting the INN agency.

3.25pm
The Bangkok Post updates, quoting Thai television as its sources.

3:29pm
The first picture and eyewitness account appears on Thaivisa.com. They are quickly re-posted on Twitter and other websites including the popular Thai language portal Pantip.com.

3:50pm
The Bangkok Post has amended its report, saying only the pilot was killed. Overseas media are now reporting the news, with UK-based Sky News appearing to be the first to break the story via Google News. 'Bangkok Airways' and 'Koh Samui' are well inside the top ten trending topics on Twitter.

4:10pm
The Nation's story has now been English-edited and The Bangkok Post, and others, has already named the dead pilot. Most media is reporting one fatality and up to 41 "wounded".

4.30pm
Further eyewitness accounts are starting to appear. One, quoting an Israeli who was rescued from the plane, says the front rows of the aircraft have been "completely crushed".

It seems Thai television was the first to report details of this incident, but it soon made the jump into English as forum users and users of Twitter started to talk about it. From there is took almost 20 minutes for the 'traditional' English language media to start reporting details.
With breaking news there is always a period of uncertainty when details are unconfirmed or simply not known. The Bangkok Post, for some reason, was on its own in reporting 10 fatalities. Thankfully that turned out to be incorrect.
Another fact which overseas readers especially will possibly find disturbing is the naming of the pilot so soon after the crash.
