so, it seems that we have another plane skidding off a runway? like TAM airbus it was during rain.

unlike TAM airbus, this is not a fly by wire plane.

according to one person on this forum the runway was 9600feet long and that is pretty long...about 3000 feet longer than the TAM crash.

anyone in thailand know for a fact if the runway lights were on? (even if this was in daylight, runway lights can really help during rain)
