Title: DHL 757 Skids Off Runway in Costa Rica
Post by: RonR on April 08, 2022, 06:23:54 AM

A DHL 757 had just departed from San Jose's airport in Costa Rica but decided to return possibly due to hydraulic problems.  The jet ended up skidding off of the runway and splitting in two.  The pilot and copilot were the only ones on board and were thankfully uninjured.
