At the Honduras International Airport, a private plane from the USA broke up during landing (video)

At least six Americans were injured as a result of an unsuccessful landing of the Gulfstream G200 aircraft in the capital of Honduras Tegusigalpe on the morning of May 22.

The Business Class reactive two-engine aircraft flew by the N813WM private flight from Austin (Texas, USA), but when landing at the international airport, Tonskontin at about 11:20 local time, touching the Earth, flew out of the runway and collapsed into the ravine, reports La Prensa . At the same time, his body broke into several parts. The causes of the disaster are established.

The exact number of people on board is still not specified - according to various sources, there were from six to nine people. According to the reports of the local authorities, fortunately, without the dead.

One of the witnesses of the incident said that he helped five men and a woman leave the plane. According to him, they were all "almost sound", BBC reports.

Due to the fact that the VPP Tonsokontin is very short and is located surrounded by the mountains, it is considered one of the most dangerous in the world. In 2008, in the same place of the Airbus A-320, the Salvador Tas Airline, on board of which there were 124 passengers, could not slow down after landing and flew out of the runway of 200 meters, stopping in the middle of a busy highway. At the same time, the aircraft crumpled and won several passing cars. Then five people died.

The Honduras government is now building a new international airport about 50 km from the capital.
