After taking off from Juan Santamaria International Airport in Costa Rica, the plane suffered a hydraulic system failure, causing it to return to the airport for an emergency landing. The Boeing 757-200 aircraft travels several hundred meters and then makes a sharp turn, falls off the runway and breaks right behind the wings. Fortunately, none of the crew members were injured.
However, the plane turned into a pile of scrap – there is no point in restoring it. Damaged not only the fuselage and landing gear, but also a wing.
DHL’s response team has gone to the scene of the accident and will conduct an investigation together with the relevant authorities to understand the causes of the outage. DHLwho owns this Boeing.
Surprisingly, the plane did not catch fire – the tanks were more than half full to reach Guatemala, which is 95 minutes away. The plane returned to the airport 25 minutes after takeoff.
