A DHL cargo jet broke in half after sliding off the runway while landing at San Jose’s international airport.
The fire department says the Boeing 757 had taken off from Juan Santamaría Airport just west of the capital but decided to return after detecting a failure in the hydraulic system. Officials say that upon landing the aircraft skidded, turned and broke in two, exposing its cargo.

A friend of mine had to take a bush plane into interior Alaska with a bunch of gear. The guy loaded it too far back and they banged the back end trying to take off.
Luckily they didn't even make it off the ground, so they taxied around and the guy reloaded it.
They took off the second time.
But they just kept going up and up - the hard hit had damaged something and the pilot couldn't get the plane leveled off.
My friend thought for sure they were going to stall, but at the last instant the pilot did some maneuver and was able to get it back on the ground.

I suspect that Boeing would like to have a look at that plane.

Haven’t I’ve been reading that Boeing is in trouble with their design for the new Air Force One?
Whatever. I think they should patch up this plane and use it as Air Force One.
I would have no problem with that. None at all.

My son made his H.S. prom suit out of duct tape.
But that was back in the 90’s.
Had the lapels, buttons, pockets, jacket, paints, everything..
And... it was really cool. The chicks loved it.

Don’t laugh. An Alaska bush pilot pretty much covered his plane with duct tape after a crash; friends dropped a case of it to him in the wild.

was???
When I fly with them I’m pretty naive so I think everything is fine.
My friend next to me (who has flown in them 100x more than me) will be white-knuckling it on several of them.
And then later he sends me articles about yet another bush plane accident from up there.

Humm clear sky’s assuming that photo was right after the crash. Obviously, it split in half due to the cockpit area climbing that bank. Will be interesting see the findings, assuming they aren’t tainted which can never be ruled out.
