Letalo strmoglavilo v laguno in potonilo #video
Letalo papuanske letalske družbe Air Niugini je ob pristajanju na letališču v Chuuku v Mikroneziji strmoglavilo v laguno. Vseh 36 potnikov in 11 članov posadke je na varnem. Nihče med njimi ni bil huje poškodovan.
Fotografije na družbenih omrežjih prikazujejo, kako nekaj čolnov, ki sodelujejo pri reševanju potnikov, obkroža deloma potopljeno letalo.

Boeing 737-800 bi moral imeti pred poletom z mikronezijskega otoka Pohnpei v prestolnico Papue Nove Gvineje Port Moresby postanek v Chuuku, ki je najbolj poseljeno mesto Mikronezije.
Vzrok nesreče še ni znan, je pa direktor letališča Chuuk pojasnil, da je letalo za 150 metrov zgrešilo pristajalno stezo in pristalo v laguni. Pristajalna steza je namreč povsem na obali.
Reports of an Air Niugini 737 overrunning the runway in Chuuk, Micronesia (TKK). That's a 6,013-foot runway, which is on the shorter side for an airport with airline service. https://t.co/DKY11XENhV I flew into this airport in July, you can see how hard the braking is on landing. pic.twitter.com/1odaL4z8gy
