Georgetown, Guyana 30 July 2011



The Boeing 737-8BK operated by Caribbean Airlines took off from Port of Spain (Trinidad and Tobago) for a flight passengers to Georgetown (Guyana). 154 passengers and eight crew members had boarded. The device missed its landing and broke in two pieces. All persons on board survived, but two people were seriously injured. Heavy rains affecting visibility were present at the time of the accident. The camera on approach to Runway 06 at Georgetown touched down too far after the start of the runway and was unable to stop before the end of the runway. The aircraft continued its course after the track about 100 meters (330 ft), crossed the fence of the airport, and ended on a road bordering the airport. The impact broke the fuselage in two of the aircraft in the wings.
