Plane skids off runway,

[Vanhelsing]

JAKARTA: For the umpteenth time, a plane has experienced an accident at Wamena Airport in Jayawijaya, Papua.

On Tuesday a cargo aircraft belonging to Tri MG veered off the runway for almost a kilometer when it landed at 12:30 p.m. local time.

The left wheel and undercarriage of the aircraft had fallen off when the plane touched down.

“They managed to rescue themselves, but the aircraft was badly damaged. Both of its wings became detached,” said Yan.

It does seem to have been played down a bit. Sadly it's only a matter of time before another air accident in Indonesia claims many lives.

What is scary about the Wamema Airport is despite having fences, they are broken and people tend to work near the run way. They play a siren for landings and take offs to make sure people clear the area. When I read the article, my first reaction was if those people were able to get out of the way.

It could have been alot worse.
