From the article:

In 2008, a plane of the former airline TACA crashed in nearly the same spot.

I thought the location looked familiar when I saw those photos.

TACA 390 was landing (long) with a tailwind on a wet runway - TGU was dry yesterday. That said, TGU has long been known for it’s tricky little approach.

Kind of unbelievable to see this. The aircraft had been under contract for some time and just had finished a 16C!

from the telegraph link, in case you missed it LFMAO


Aviation expert Andrew Charlton told the BBC he believed this particular aircraft to be "back-heavy", with cargo, galley (kitchen) and toilet facilities at the back. "An aircraft is under massive, massive pressure when it lands at speeds of like 200 miles an hour. You design planes to withstand this."

He speculated that a strain or microscopic fissure in the metal may have added to pressure on the wheels, leading to the structure tearing.

Everything is sorted.. Next please..
