crash at phuket airport?

Bloke just come in to Yorkshire Inn, all excited about a plane crash at Phuket airport. Sounds like an incoming One2go flight from BKK.

Anyone heard anything?

Weather is prety bad here, wind and rain may be a factor.

Hope no-one is hurt.

Thanks for merging the threads.

On Thai news now, girl translated for me but they are not giving any information on casualties. I guess we must wait for news and best not to speculate.

A few BMs have gone gokarting and there is also a hash run today. Maybe there will be snippets of info. on the grapevine.

TV saying there are dead.. But they cannot identify remains / asses how many at this point..

How they cant check the ones still alive against a passenger manifest boggles the mind.. Breaking news I guess.

A passenger jet of One-To-Go Airlines with 128 people aboard crashed while landing at Phuket Airport in southern Thailand late Sunday afternoon and rescue workers said the death toll could be high.

The plane of the budget airline skidded off the runway after landing and crashed into trees, bursting into fire, said Channel 7 TV.

Initial reports estimated that at least 60 passengers died in the fiery accident.

Airport officials and rescue workers are still working to help the victims from the plane which caught fire after it crashlanded and skidded off the runway.

Authorities said there were 123 passengers and five crew members on board when the plane crashed at about 4pm Sunday afternoon.

Weather in Phuket has been bad for several days, with thunderstorms and high wind gusts at times.

I'm now in Summer Breeze with Bill.

Bloke just checked in. He was supposed to be on the flight that crashed but got the flight an hour earlier. He saw the plane crash. It skidded off the runway and caught fire.

According to him the number of casualties will be high.

A plane slides out of runway at Phuket airport, reportedly causing injuries and dead


A budget airline; One-to-Go, slid off runway and crashed into trees in Phuket airport on Sunday.

Eye witnesses saw smoke from the ill-fated aircraft, MB 82.

Unconfirmed reports said the accident caused injuries and dead as the aircraft broke into two pieces.

The accident was said to be caused by slippery runway after heavy rains.

Until the cause of the accident is known , it is pointless to blame "cheapy-airlines".

Just bad luck Nacha. It could have been any airline landing today. I don't think it being a LCC makes a difference.
