KLM 737 slides off the runway at AMS
Translation from a dutch article:
a 737 slid off the runway and got stuck in the mud with its nosewheel.
Pax disembarked via stairs and transported to terminal with buses.
Heavy rain reported during this time, no injuries
.
Flight originated from Heathrow.

Settle down in the back, and stop disrupting the class for those more conscientious students.
May we please have some more specific info on this? Your opening post is very vague.

Rumours are they overshot or skidded off during taxi.
Seems they also had incident in BCN with a 737 during landing in heavy weather. Aircraft was written off.
Glad nobody was hurt

Ok not too sure about the weather in BCN at the time although I landed the same day in heavy rain but the facts are both KLM 737s skidded off the runway after landing, that was my point.

Moderators, will you please act against those few unruly posters who have nothing of value to offer in this forum. They have no place in a Professional discussion and only disrupt the flow of information and understanding essential to the continued safety in our operations.
Any mishap, however minor has something for us to learn from. Everyone should heed the ‘lessons’ in such incidents, be these technical, environmental or just plain human errors.
Please delete this post to de-clutter this thread after taking action.

I flew into AMS today at around midday. There were some isolated CBs in the area, and the runways were damp/wet. I think a thunderstorm had occured earlier that morning.
In AMS you are spoilt for choice with runways, with no less than 10 or 12 options, all with ILSs, all long and wide, all with good surfaces...
ATC are excellent, and must have a WX radar since they always vector me around CBs.
I guess everyone has bad days...
Would be interesting to know how this happened.

I am sorry if I touched a soar nerve. I am not the one responsible for these incidents, just stating (on a rumours network after all) that 2 landing incidents involving the same airline occured recently. What is wrong with that?
You state that this is a forum for professionals to exchange ideas and comments in a professional manner so why are you expressing yourself with a childish and aggressive response.
If you're a pilot, I hope you do not have the same attitude in the cockpit.
