Fox News
A DHL cargo jet slid off the runway and broke in half while landing at San Jose’s international airport in Costa Rica Thursday, shutting down the airport, but not injuring the crew.
Héctor Chaves, director the Costa Rica Fire Department, said that upon landing the aircraft skidded, turned and broke in two, exposing its cargo.
"Units mobilized to remove the pilot and co-pilot," Chaves said. "Then they applied foam to prevent a spill and now they are working on an earthen dike to avoid any fuel from reaching the drainage system."
