Air Niugini plane crash: American passenger describes plane missing runway

[@RebelEight-z7q]

it's pretty tragic that news everywhere that covered the story failed to mention the ONE GUY who lost his life in this crash. condolences to the guy's family.

[@readingsteiner1966]

the guy's body was found later on by divers searching the aircraft. so maybe the news coverage on this was done before they had found the body

[@NicklePickle426]

@@readingsteiner1966 Yes you're absolutely correct!!! They did get everyone on the airplane off during the rescue that's why they thought they had everyone. However, the guy that died wasn't wearing a seatbelt, and they believe he either got caught underneath something inside the plane & after sinking it dislodged him into the ocean, or they think he May have been ejected through a hole in the planes fuelselodge, and that due to his injuries from not wearing a seatbelt he was unconscious and just sank after being ejected.

Thanks to those people from Chuuk for helping...God bless you all

[@sotirzvanidjubre4109]

Of course,why wouldn't they? In my country you can go to prison for not helping,so...I guess that's a must.

[@JMarieCAlove]

I just saw a sneak peak on Live Rescue on the A&E channel about this, I thought it happened just recently! This happened over two years ago! I’m just glad everyone survived.

[@ROMEROME1990]

One person died unfortunately.

[@ibrahimahmed1798]

Came here after watching this in flight channel. Apparently, investigators concluded that this crash was caused by pilot error and both pilots were at fault.

[@petermuller5800]

Yep. The approach was unstable, and they continued a non-precision (visual) approach even though they lost visibility of the runway 500 ft. above ground. They flew into heavy rain clouds and should have immediately aborted the approach. Who knows why they continued to fly absolutely blind... time pressure from the airline? Stubbornness? This could not end well, and numerous warnings sounded before the crash. They were all ignored.

[@Jay-hr3rh]

Two pilots career that's over.

[@GervaisKewley90]

Definitely

Airplane engineering should make the next generation Airplane as Water Proof so that emergency landing can be done safely in Water

[@noah6708]

with cactus 1549 was a completly different scenario

[@Yasuke1998]

my mom was working at the Chuuk hospital at the time and quite a few of the passengers were brought in for grazes and minor injuries...as the resident anesthetist at the time, she gave a few of them pain meds and even connected a more seriously injured passenger to life support & he woke up shortly after...this particular flight lands in Chuuk on the same day each week & the week directly after the crash, my sister and I arrived in Chuuk to join our mom, same model of plane, same airline, same day but a week later...she was so worried because she had just been busy all week before our arrival tending to the passengers but thankfully we arrived safely...one thing this news story doesn't mention though is that divers pulled a body out of the wreckage the day after the crash, apparently a young man had been trapped and went down with the plane, condolences to that late Indonesian man's family, tragic loss of life

[@KBP120]

"I thought it was a hard landing" ?? That must've been one soft crash into the ocean....wow.. Is that guy ok?

Iam angry and frustrated seeing my country's airlines flown by outsiders and not capable of taking correct flight landing instructions. The country needs to train better guys in PNG to fly its own national airline Air Niuginini.This is a national issue.

[@cozii_yt222]

everyone survived except one that died

[@fullsunny2530]

This was clearly the pilot’s fault.

Further more: how did these guy under shoot the runway by a 1/4 mile. What kind of approach where they flying a visual or ILS? Where can I get approach plate info for this airport. God a 1/4 mile.

[@fullsunny2530]

They didn’t forget. He was unconscious and drowned when the plane crashed

[@zoluhwa3508]

There was report... The passenger wasn't wearing his seat belt and when the crash happened the impact threw his body up to the roof of the plane, knocking him out, when the navy seals went into the plane to check, they couldnt see him because he was unconscious on the floor of the plane and the water was up to waste height. Importance of wearing a seat belt.... Iv been on many flights and see passengers just ignoring this rule when the flight attendance are not looking....iv been on air ngiuin, I'm from Micronesia, the flight from png to chuuk and pohnpei is always few, you can have an entire row to yourself. People usually unbuckle and lay flat on three seats and sleep. Iv done it but never again.
