just spoke to a friend that was on the flight, the plane did a go around on the first attempt to land. The second attempt was rough with loud bangs and bumps with the aircraft swerving sideways and fish tailing, then they taxied normally to the gate. In the light of day it appears that they missed the runway and the bangs and bumps were the aircraft hitting runway lights and blowing tyres, also the wing has recieved damage from hitting the ground. From what I was told everyone in Honiara thinks they were lucky to be in one piece today, and that the aircraft will need major work before it can fly.
