What: Merpati Nusantara Airlines Boeing 737-300 en route from Sarong to Manokwari West Papua. (Sorong-Dominique Edward Osok Airport to Rendani Airport)
Where: Rendani Airport, Indonesia
When: 12 April 2010
Who: 97 passengers ( 76 men, 21 women, three children and three infants) 6 crew
Why: While landing at Rendani in heavy fog and rain, the flight overshot the runway and/or hydroplaned on the wet runway, lost a wing in a forest at the end of the runway and partially ended up with the tail suspended in river shallows. The fuselage split in two. No one was trapped; everyone got out alive. Reports of injury vary, from 80 minor injuries to 20 individuals who sustained varying degrees of injury (broken bones and head injury), one who had facial injury and trouble breathing.
Merpati is on the banned list. Nevertheless, Merpati spokesmen say this was entirely due to weather and not pilot error.

Qantas flight QF-7 had to divert and make an emergency landing in Phoenix, Arizona, on August 17th.
The plane heading from Sydney, Australia, to Dallas, Texas, was diverted after a passenger suffered a medical emergency.
The plane landed uneventfully.
A single-engine plane crashed near Buffalo, during takeoff from Royalton Airport in Gasport, New York, at about 11:30 a.m. on July 5.
The 79-year-old pilot who was the only person aboard suffered facial injuries and was airlifted to the hospital. His name has not yet been released.
The plane crashed to the right of the runway in a heavily wooded area. The emergency responders faced difficulty in saving the life of the pilot due to the woods. They had to create a path of approximately 200 yards by using a backhoe to carry the stretcher to the pilot.
Noar Linhas Aéreas Flight 4896 took off from Boa Viagem, Recife, Brazil, on 13 July 2011, issued a mayday shortly after, and after experiencing trouble with one engine, the Let L-410UVP-E20 crashed 1,300 yds from the end of the runway. Two crew and fourteen passengers were killed on the scene.
From the final:
The CVR data indicate a change in the emotional state of the PIC on account of the aircraft adverse condition, to which he had to respond with an operational procedure that was different from the one for a normal flight situation.
The copilot, in turn, in his communications, gives the impression of being highly tense on account of the emergency situation.
This became clear with the delay of the copilot in retracting the landing gear, and in the PIC’s initiative to “feather” the propellers that had already been feathered by the copilot, after an order given by the very PIC.
The evident anxiety identified in the cockpit is reflected in the barriers and filters that influenced the process of communication between the two pilots, sensitively affecting the PIC’s situational awareness.
Moreover, it is a known fact that non-routine situations can cause a rise in one’s level of anxiety, but such alteration of the emotional state may be intensified when one does not have enough knowledge to manage the circumstance, and this interferes in the analysis of the scenario and adoption of appropriate measures.
