Pantanal ATR 42 off runway at Congonhas
An ATR 42 with 21 on board aquaplaned after landing at Congonhas (CGH) in the afternoon of 16 July 2007. Nosegear collapsed, 21 on board unhurt.
The main runway at CGH was reopened about ten days ago after resurfacing, but has not yet been re-grooved. Heavy rain last night continued throughout the day. Link to Globo video which just shows aircraft off the runway resting on nose, skidmarks:
