My god. I have to wonder what has been going on lately, I have been seeing a trend of more aviation incidents. This is not a trend I have any desire to see continue... Best of luck to the families of the 154 on board.

My guess is the airliners are trying to save money with the economy being so fragile. Very sad to see.

Don't know If a plane running off the runway has anything to do with airlines saving money. Most likely pilot error mixed with possible weather/runway conditions. Agreed sad to see though. Hopefully everyone made it out ok.

Well then the plane technically didn't go down, since it never actually got up. Pilot error sounds more like it.

Actually, accourding to IATA the accident rate for 2010 was the lowest in history... http://www.iata.org/pressroom/pr/pages/2011-02-23-01.aspx

Nobody has been badly injured, so just another nice, cracked plane.

From the linked website: [...]that the most serious injuries were a broken leg and a mouth bleed. There were no fatalities.[...]So, nothing too serious given that the plane broke in half.Materials are replaceable, human life is not.

Apparently only two fractured legs...HEres another link: http://avherald.com/h?article=4407f71a&opt=0

I'd say that it was "up" since it didn't drive on the ground or float from the Port of Spain to George Town, and overran the runway on the landing. Sean Campbell

Roger that.

Lucky everyone survived! News reports say the aircraft touched down "in middle" of runway. I'd like to read some more concrete evidence then that :) But yeah weather was bad so probably just an overun.

Wow, that sucks because I just seen this plane in JFK yesterday. Thank God everyone is still alive. 3 accidents/incidents in a week? That's crazy. First was Asiana Cargo crash, Egypt Air Cockpit fire and now this. Here are some more pictures of the plane is anyone is interested...
