Suvarnabhumi » Airlines passenger jet flight OG269 crashed upon landing at Phuket airport
Sunday, July 20th, 2008
A One-Two-Go Airlines passenger jet ‘flight OG269‘ with 130 people aboard crashed and broke in two while landing at Phuket Airport in foul weather late Sunday afternoon (September 16, 2007). Rescue workers said the death toll could be high.
The plane of the budget airline skidded off the runway after landing and crashed into trees, bursting into fire, said Channel 7 TV.
Initial reports estimated that at least 60 passengers died in the fiery accident. But there was hope there were survivors.
Chaisak Angsuwan, director general of the Air Transport Authority of Thailand said the aircraft broke in two as it attempted to land at Phuket airport in bad weather.
Chaisak told that there was heavy rain when flight OG269 of parent Orient Thai Airways traveling from Bangkok’s Don Muang airport to Phuket attempted to make a landing. Planes in both Orient Thai and One-Two-Go livery use the OG flight identifier.
Witnesses said the airline was using its usual MD-82 twin-engine passenger jet aircraft, a model of the McDonnell-Douglas DC9. One-Two-Go owned seven such planes, which it used for frequent flights around Thailand, including six each day from Bangkok to Phuket and return.
Airport officials and rescue workers are still working to help the victims from the plane which caught fire after it crashlanded and skidded off the runway (September 16, 2007).
Authorities said there were 123 passengers and five crew members on board when the plane crashed at about 3:35pm Sunday afternoon.
