Default In Terrifying Close Call, Plane Skids Off Turkish Runway And Nearly Plunges Into Black Sea - Plane Skids Off Turkish Runway.jpg ...

Terrifying images captured Saturday night at Trabzon airport on Turkey’s
northeast coast showed a passenger plane teetering precariously on a steep
slope, its nose pointing toward the waters of the Black Sea below, after the jet
skidded off the runway as it was attempting to land.

Incredibly, none of the 168 passengers and crew members on board the Pegasus
Airlines flight were hurt in the incident, according to Reuters. Everyone was
safely evacuated.

The Turkish airline said in a statement that the Boeing 737-800 aircraft had
been flying from Ankara to Trabzon and “had a runway excursion incident” as it
landed.

“We tilted to the side, the front was down while the plane’s rear was up. There
was panic; people shouting, screaming,” a passenger named Fatma Gordu told
state-run news agency Anadolu.

An investigation into the cause of the accident has been launched, reported the
BBC. Provincial governor Yucel Yavuz said the Trabzon airport was closed for
several hours while authorities conducted a probe into the incident.
