Caribbean Airlines Crash: Jet Cracks in Half During Landing

Caribbean Airlines flight 523 traveling from New York split in two as it crash-landed in Guyana on Saturday.

The Boeing 737 overshot the rainy runway and slid into a chain-link fence, which caused the plane to break in half just short of a deep ravine.
A few dozen people were injured, but miraculously all 163 people on board survived.
The Caribbean Airlines flight flying from New York landed at Cheddi Jagan International Airport early Saturday morning and according to passenger Geeta Ramsingh, the cheers of fellow riders quickly “turned to screams.”
Ramsingh reported to media sources: "The plane sped up as if attempting to take off again. It is then that I smelled gas in the cabin and people started to shout and holler.”
According to Ramsingh, she suffered some bruising as she jumped onto the airplane’s wing and then the road.
