Air Asia Misses the runway.

Air Asia B737 hit the mud about 100m short of runway 02 at Miri (WBGM) on Wednesday evening. They took several approach lights with them before bouceing back into the Air and landing on the runway. Pax very upset and I believe unaware of exactly what happened. Both Engines damaged through ingestion of approach lights. Left one had 37 blades severly damaged or missing. Underbody of aircraft had impact marks from Lighting equipment. It was the one painted up as Malaysian Flag, unsure of Reg. Weahter was ok, light winds, and passing light showers.
