Chinese plane slides off runway at Manila airport and rips off engine while landing in heavy rain
A PLANE carrying 157 passengers skidded off a runway in the Philippines last night, tearing off an engine. The aircraft had circled for an hour and already abandoned one landing attempt as torrential rain pounded the tarmac. On the first attempt the plane reportedly "misapproached" the runway at Manila International Airport. The jet lost contact with the tower on the second attempt, according to civil aviation chief Jim Sydiongco. It appeared to have "bounced" in a hard landing then veered off the runway and rolled toward a rain-soaked grassy area with its lights off, Eric Apolonio, spokesman of the civil aviation agency said. The 737-800 had been flying to the Philippines capital from Xiamen in south-east China. Film shot by a passenger inside the Xiamen Airlines jet shows the panic that ensued. The film, apparently shot from above the engine that broke off, shows a heavy landing and then panicked voices from inside a dark cabin. Passengers were evacuated by inflatable slide and … [Read more...] about Chinese plane slides off runway at Manila airport and rips off engine while landing in heavy rain
