Pegasus Airlines B737 Plane Crash,İstanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport - [HD]

The single-aisle jet had flown from Izmir on Turkey’s Aegean coast, authorities said. It appeared to have ploughed down a slope from the runway and stopped short of a busy road, one of the main highways going into the city, based on photos of the aircraft. The plane was travelling at 117 kilometres an hour (72 miles an hour) near the end of the runway, according to Flightradar24. Sabiha Gokcen airport, located on the Asian side of Istanbul, was closed following the incident. All incoming flights diverted to a new hub on the city’s European side. The accident wasn’t the first such incident for Pegasus. Last month, one of the airline’s 737-800s ran off the edge of a runway at the same airport after landing in bad weather, resulting in no injuries. In January 2018, a Pegasus jet carrying 168 people slid off a runway at Turkey’s Trabzon Airport. There were no injuries reported, but one of the engines fell into the Black Sea as the Boeing aircraft slid down an embankment.
