What: Sriwijaya Air Boeing 737-300 en route from Jakarta to Yogyakarta (Indonesia)
Where: Yogyakarta
When: Dec 20th 2011, 17:35
Who: 131 passengers
Why: The plane aborted an approach to Yogyakarta due to weather and low visibility.

The plane veered off the runway, with brakes rendered ineffective due to rain, and came to a stop 60 meters past the runway, with collapsed nose gear and with fuselage damage. Bits and pieces of the plane were scattered along the runway.
