No injuries after Nok Air 737-800 slides off Thai runway

[KhunBENQ]

Is it in the news? Didn't find it.

A NokAir plane overshot the runway in Chiang Rai yesterday evening in heavy rain (no casualties).

As a result the Chiang Rai airport is closed for today.

I have checked online status sites and no flight has departed.

Well, I the terrain is simple grassland and heavy rain the wheels can sink deep.

That is true. Was not thinking about that, but of course it could have been turned into a swamp by the heavy rain.

[ozfarang]

The aircraft is off the paved surface.

Whether or not it's on it wheels or not is irrelevant in this case. It won't be taxiing to the stand from this position 

[KhunBENQ]

You see the main landing gear.

 

If you have Twitter, just search for "DD108".

There is a picture from this morning where it sits unchanged.

From the areal photo on Twitter the runway will be closed until the aircraft is moved.

Could take a while, depending on the damage to the U/C

No injuries after Nok Air 737-800 slides off Thai runway

By David Kaminski-Morrow 31 July 2022

 

 

One of Thai carrier Nok Air’s Boeing 737-800s has skidded off the runway while landing at Chiang Rai airport in the far north of the country.

 

It appears to have suffered an excursion from the left side of runway 03.

 

The twinjet, operating flight DD108, was transporting 164 passengers and six crew members from Bangkok on 30 July, says the carrier.

 

It states that it arrived at Chiang Rai at 21:06 but “heavy rain” caused the aircraft to leave the runway.

 

All passengers and crew disembarked and were transported to the terminal. “No one was injured in any way,” claims the airline.

A NokAir plane skidded off a wet runway as it landed during heavy rain at Chiang Rai International Airport, northern of Thailand.

 

The Boeing 737-800 (reg. HS-DBR) was performing flight #DD108 from Bangkok to Chiang Rai.

 

While the pilot was landing the plane at Mae Fah Luang Chiang Rai Airport, heavy rain caused the plane to slip off the runway.

 

 

All 163 passengers and six crews were safe, and no casualties have been reported.

Why do we need 2 threads on the Nok Air incident?

[PETERTHEEATER]

From the roads to the runways, the excuse is the same......

How true. Never the drivers/pilots fault

[ChaiyaTH]

When you slide off a runway but got away without any injuries but are more hyped up about the fact you were not offered a snack and water in time. 2022.

Anyway, this is why you are supposed to keep your seatbelts on.

My apologies if this topic has already been posted... I did scan both the Thailand News forum and the CR forum and did not find mention of the incident.

 

Can you please provide a link to the topic and I will attempt to merge the 2 topics together.

Ahhh... General Chat.

 

That's why I didn't find it.

Could have been Wind Shear.  In that kind of weather a headwind can turn into a tailwind quickly.  I almost “bought the farm” many years ago trying land with a tailwind. Thankfully I was piloting a small airplane and the runway was long(7000 feet).

This is in Thai but it seems to imply the passengers were stuck on board for ages as "the official stressed that it is a rule of thumb to not stand on the runway. Plus it's raining now afraid to get wet However, everyone insists that they are not afraid of getting wet."

 

Surely after a runway excursion like this the crew must enable a fast evacuation of the aircraft within the regulated 90 seconds in case of fire?

Yes I saw it somewhere in English that the passengers were locked for more than an hour in the tube.

Evacuate, evacuate.

 

U/C damage, wing damage, fuel leak, damaged engines, FIRE

 

Wrong decision by the pilot

[kokesaat]

I was on an Air Force RC135 that went off the wet runway in the Philippines during an aborted takeoff in 1979.  3 rings on the alarm bell and everyone left via the forward hatch.    Although you can't see it in the photo, the right side landing gear punctured the wing.  Lots of gas flowed from the aircraft as we were 'bailing' out.  No injuries, no fire, but over a million dollars in damage to the aircraft.....back in 1979

Since there wasn't any fire there was no need for an emergency evacuation. An evacuation has the risk of people getting injured (happens frequently), so it's only done if necessary.

 

If I had been a passenger on that flight I would certainly have appreciated that I was able to remain safely seated instead of having been forced outside in the dark and the rain.

Maybe break failure or 'lap noi'?

It might still be on its wheels but if there has been a lot of heavy rain in the past few days they may have sunk in the grass. Whichever way that is going to be a pig of a job to get it back on its wheels and onto the solid concrete runway.

 

No sir, it will NOT be on the line at 08:00 tomorrow morning.

Not so. An unlucky decision, yes. Wrong No. If he was coming to the end of the landing run the wind could easily have shifted and  slid the port landing gear into the crud and the aircraft would have followed.

 

Where does it say damaged engines, fuel leak and fire?

 

The nacelle on the starboard side looks a bit bent, no sign of a fuel leak as there would have been rainbow puddles and NO sign of any fire or the passengers would have been evacuated very quickly.
