Air Niugini Boeing 737 Crashes, Sinks in Weno

According to eye witness accounts, it didnt overshoot anything..it came up short

Is ok..at least your report got the facts correct..it didnt overshoot the runway, eye witness accounts say it came up short..Im wondering if a micro-burst pushed her in

150 yards short? I wonder what happened here.

Ooops - - was notified of prior post a little too late.

“Hmmmmm. How am I going to explain this to the Chief Pilot & Head Mechanic?” @ least everyone fared better than the founding members of the RMS Titanic Swim Club.

“Noah.....How long can you tread water?”

was it true IS divers recovered a body?

Air Niugini plane comes down in Micronesia lagoon.

A passenger aircraft has come down in a lagoon off Chuuk International Airport in Micronesia after it missed the runway, airport officials say.

The Air Niugini plane from Papua New Guinea was seen sitting in shallow water just off the coast.

Locals responded by approaching the plane in small vessels to help rescue the 36 passengers and 11 crew.

A hospital official told Reuters that four passengers were in a serious condition after the crash.

The aircraft was flying from the island of Pohnpei in Micronesia to Port Moresby, the capital of Papua New Guinea, stopping at Micronesia's Weno island on the way.
