A Caribbean Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration 9Y-PBM performing flight BW523 from Port of Spain (Trinidad and Tobago) to Georgetown (Guyana) with 154 passengers and 8 crew, overran Georgetown's runway at around 01:30L (05:30Z), broke through the perimeter fence, fell onto a perimeter road and broke up, the front section separating just ahead of the wing root. Two passengers received serious injuries (leg fractures).
The airport is currently closed.
Time for the
Airbus ROW-ROP system to be made mandatory?
