Accident[edit]
In the early afternoon of May 8, 2019, at around 15:15 local time, Biman Bangladesh Airlines Flight 060 took off from Dhaka on a scheduled passenger flight to Yangon in Myanmar. At the time of the accident a thunderstorm was present and the weather was very poor. Whilst the aircraft rolled out for landing, for unknown circumstances it deviated from it's course and veered off the 2.1 mile long runway into the grass next to the only runway. The impact caused the aircraft to snap into three sections just behind the forward passenger door and the rear service door. The undercarriage collapsed and the right wing was highly damaged where it meets with the fuselage. Even though the plane suffered serious damage, no fire erupted and all onboard survived the accident but some 11 passengers were said to be injured. [4]
