Just hours after 40 bodies and wreckage were recovered from the sea off the Indonesian coast of Borneo Island following the disappearance of Air Asia flight 8501 on Sunday, an AirAsia airliner has reportedly overshot the runway at an airport in the Philippines forcing passengers to make an urgent exit on emergency slides.
The incident occured at Kalibo Airport in Aklan province and involved an Airbus A320-216 carrying 153 passengers and crew from the Filipino capital Manila.
Local journalist Jet Damazo-Santos was on board the plane and uploaded photographs to Twitter showing chaotic scenes as passengers were forced to disembark the aircraft on emergency slides.
'Engine was shut immediately, we were told to leave bags, deplane asap. Firetruck was waiting,' she said.
Fortunately, no passenger was hurt...
