Kenya Airways Runs off Runway in Dar es Salaam
A Kenya Airways Embraer 190 has just run off the runway at HTDA while landing in a heavy rainstorm. It looks as if the passengers were evacuated using the slides!

Its not a question of erasing.
The CVR records a 2 hour loop, if there is a reportable incident it must be disconnected and tagged for removal on landing.
If it is not disconnected it will overwrite the important recordings.
Disconnecting the CVR is a non-standard item performed ONLY when there is a reportable incident so it can easily be overlooked in the general confusion which follows an incident.

The picture showing the ladder is taken some time after the evacuation.
The chap in the hi viz vest is a ground handling agent getting bags off. He's put a ladder on because otherwise it's quite tricky to walk up the slide.

Indeed, but I'd think it's most likely the agent doesn't know how to disconnect a slide or doesn't feel he has the authority, the crew are likely long since gone off for debrief. Either way it's nowhere near as daft as believing that the photo is a representation of an actual evacuation.

What happened to the Kenya Airways Embraer which ran off the runway in Dar es Salaam in April? Has it been repaired yet or id 'The Pride of Africa's' pride a little dented?
