Shakil Meraj, general manager of public relations for BimanBangladesh Airlines told Dhaka Tribune that an S2-AGQ - Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 plane skidded off the runway while landing around 6:22pm due to bad weather.

He also said that all passengers are safe.
That’s what a PR person would say, I suppose. Safe is a relative concept.

I learned today that a Calgary passenger broke her back in the accident and is now in hospital in Bangkok.

The crash fractured two of Russell’s vertebrae, compressed her spine and left her with a serious concussion.
