Chinese Airliner Goes Off Runway In Country's Second Accident This Week

Follows Fatal Weekend Crash Of Suspected AWACS Plane

A Chinese 737 slid off the runway in Wuyishan Wednesday, in that country's second major aviation mishap this week.

No one was injured as the China Eastern Airways plane (file photo of type, above) apparently failed to brake properly on the rain-slicked runway, slid into the mud and, then, got stuck. Passengers were forced to exit the plane through the emergency exits.

That was a happier ending than an accident involving a military aircraft this weekend. As Aero-News reported Sunday, a Chinese military plane went down in the mountains of eastern China. Officials have confirmed all 40 persons onboard that aircraft were killed.

Papers in Beijing and Hong Kong are calling the worst-ever military aviation disaster in China.

Details of the accident remain hard to come by. Several sources report it was not a military transport plane that crashed, as was previously believed... but rather a KJ-2000 aerial survelliance plane, based off a Russian design but incorporating Chinese-built advanced early-warning radar systems.
