What: Arrow Cargo McDonnell Douglas DC-10 freighter, en route from Manaus, AM Brazil to Bogota Colombia
Where: Manaus (rua Humaita, Terra Nova)
When: Mar 26th 2009
Who: 4 crew flew the plane that damaged 12 houses
Why: The crew heard an explosion but kept going, unaware the engine had disgorged parts of the engine nacelle, its combustion chamber, turbine and outlet. The company has already said they’ll reimburse locals for the damage.
No doubt.
They continued on to Bogata…or they would have if weather hadn’t diverted them to Medellin.
Delta flight DL-307 had to divert and make an emergency landing at Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport, San Juan, Puerto Rico, on January 24.
