Strange landing for Flybe ERJ-145 Birmingham-Stuttgart

Post by LX-LGX »

According to some newspaper reports, the Birmingham-Stuttgart ended as a near crash. The ERJ skidded off the runway after landing, missed a turnoff and ended at the very end of the runway. That's what some online newspapers report.

Repeat: the "near crash" are words from the journo's from the two newspapers - not mine.

I haven't found anything yet in English - only 2 articles in Dutch:
