What: Lionair Boeing 737-400 en route from Jakarta to Pontianak
Where: West Kalimantan, Indonesia
When: Nov 2 2010
Who: 167 passengers, 7 crew
Why: While landing at Pontianak’s Supadio Airport during a heavy rain, the plane overran the end of the runway. Its nose and main undercarriage collapsed and it stopped mired in a field beyond the end of the runway. There were no injuries.
A passenger reported that the plane shook (or vibrated) about a quarter of an hour before landing; and no announcements were made by the pilot or crew during the vibration, or during the landing. The airline said no announcement was made because the seatbelt light was on.
Passengers panicked and evacuated through an emergency exit. Military personnel at the airport assisted.
Where were the crew while terrified passengers were jumping off the plane?
They are saying the plane’s inability to stop was not due to weather, a wet runway, that the plane was well maintained and that it was a normal landing. So. If this is all true, why did it overrun?
