At around 10 o'clock local time on January 9, at Norilsk Airport in Kra**Yarsk, Russia, a Boeing 737-800 passenger plane rushed out of the runway during the landing process, attracting global attention.
According to the Russian news agency Sputnik, the Boeing 737-800 airliner, which is part of the Northern Star Airlines, was flying from Kra Yarsk to Norilsk with a total of 169 passengers and eight crew members on board. Thankfully, no one was injured in the accident.
The Boeing 737-800, a member of the Boeing 737NG family, is widely regarded as an advanced model of the new generation. The aircraft is designed with advanced wing technology, which not only increases the fuel load, but also significantly improves flight efficiency, thereby extending the range. Theoretically, its cruising range can reach 5665 km.
However, such an advanced model suffered an accident from the runway at Norilsk Airport in Russia. The causes and specifics of the accident are being investigated by the Russian Prosecutor's Office for Transport in West Siberia. The agency has inspected the implementation of flight safety legislation and has visited the scene of the accident.
Fortunately, despite such an accident, the airport remains operational. The Boeing 737-800 that rushed off the runway has been towed to the airport pending further investigation and processing.
This accident is undoubtedly a wake-up call that even aircraft with the most advanced technology cannot completely avoid flight accidents. It also reminds us that no matter how advanced technology advances, flight safety is always a top priority.
