| Summary: | The aircraft overran the 6,888 ft. runway, went through a concrete perimeter fence, crossed a small river and hit a karaoke house before stopping near a market. The plane was (legally) released from Manila with the No. 1 reverser deactivated. The plane landed mid-runway and the crew incorrectly used the No. 2 reverser to try and stop the plane causing it to veer to the right. The No. 2 engine was then to set to forward thrust steering the plane back on the runway. A go-around was attempted but it was too late and the aircraft overran the runway. |
