What: Thomson Boeing 737-800 en route from Lanzarote to Newcastle
Where: Newcastle
When: Nov 25th 2010
Who: 189 passengers
Why: It was snowing when the plane landed at Newcastle, and due to pavement conditions, the plane overran the runway.

Apparently no one was injured, but anyone who has been a passenger in a hydroplaning vehicle can sympathize with the passengers fear.
