Gulf Air A320
Just saw on al Jazeera, a GF A320 skidded off the runway in India (I missed the name of the airport).
I understand the evacuation went ok, with only one passenger injured.
Any body got any more news ?

Already discussed in the GF Developments thread. Only 1 injured who broke his leg whilst jumping with no 'ladder' acc to local news. The other 6 where dismissed from hospital straight away.
According to passengers the plane was coming in wayyyyy tooooo fast. We'll find out when the report comes out.

Apologies. This is not pre-empting the official investigation - just my opinion:
He tried to make TWY C4 at improper speed and experienced what Topgear's Clarkson calls 'understeer'.
