Crew and passengers are all alive after a private jet traveling from Austin, Texas, crashed off the end of the runway of the Honduran capital's international airport and broke in half.
Video posted online showed what appeared to be Tegucigalpa residents pulling people out of the damaged fuselage of the white Gulfstream jet, while others sprayed it with hand-held fire extinguishers.
Firefighters arrived at the scene and doused the wreckage with foam. Photos appeared to show part of the plane lying across a street.
Police and citizens help rescue survivors of the Honduras plane crash as the private jet is doused in foam.
The Honduran Civil Aviation Agency confirmed the flight came from Austin.
Federal Aviation Administration records show the plane registered to TVPX Aircraft Solutions Inc in North Salt Lake, Utah.
Honduras's emergency management agency said on Twitter that first responders rescued passengers and crew. It did not provide the number of those aboard, but said all were alive.
Tegucigalpa's airport has long been notorious as one of the more difficult approaches in the hemisphere, surrounded by mountaintops and residential neighbourhoods.
The airport's runway is about 2 kilometres long, according to the airport's website.
Its good we live in an world where random strangers come to help who aren’t even responsible for that sort of thing
God is Good all the time Amen!
Was on the flight #2 to land behind this plane, had to divert to San Pedro Sula. Not a fake for sure, for any other doubters.
People think this was fake??
You know its a Honduran video when the first word you hear is “puta”
😂
Que susto Dios Mio …

For those of you who don’t speak Spanish the guys at the end are basically complaining that the track is way too small and that thank God there wasn’t any fatalities this time around.
Same place where taca crashed nearly ten years ago
Except TACA was nearly twice as big and had to land in stormy weather, I don’t think this was solely the airports fault this time but also rather in part with the pilot. The best pilots in the world have difficulties at toncontin this pilot must have been either distracted or reckless, anyone with common sense does not underestimate toncontin. Hopefully they build the new airport soon, toncontin should be reserved for Cessna or other smaller aircraft.
