Mechanical failure prompted pilot to request emergency landing shortly after plane took off from Juan Santamaria airport
A Boeing 757-200 cargo aircraft operated by DHL has made a dramatic emergency landing at Costa Rica’s Juan Santamaria international airport, skidded off the runway and broke in two, losing its tail.
DHL, part of Deutsche Post AG, said the crew was unharmed and that one member was undergoing a medical review as a precaution.
