Runway excursion.

I love how spokes people try and used calm and leading terminology when describing something that went FUBAR.

A 737 was coming in for a landing at an airport in Turkey. They had some sort of issue and skidded off the runway, down an embankment and stopped just short of the ocean. And when I say just short I'm talking what looks like 40 or 50 feet.

This is how the airline described it.
Quote:
Pegasus Airlines said in a statement the aircraft, flying from Ankara to Trabzon, "had a runway excursion incident" as it landed but the 162 passengers, two pilots and four cabin crew were not injured
They had an excursion. Like a couple of people going on a casual walk on a path in the woods.

Pegesus.... I saw the pics. Not an excursion. Trust me on that.
