A passenger plane has skidded off the runway and broken into three pieces on landing at an airport in Istanbul, injuring 120 people.

The two pilots, a Turkish national and a South Korean, were seriously injured, Turkish media said.

The clown plane being flown was obviously a Boeing, as you could probably have deduced from being told about its catastrophic failure to perform a simple landing without falling apart like a soggy biscuit.

When will the world finally wake up and Ban The Boeing? Have there been so many Boeing Calamities (Tm) in recent times that it's Turkey's fault for allowing one to enter its airspace? Should a country stupid enough to allow Boeing planes anywhere nears its cities ever be allowed to accede to the EU?

Actual footage of a top-of-the-range Boeing coming in to land:

"The low-cost Pegasus Airlines plane was arriving at Istanbul's Sabiha Gokcen airport from the western Turkish city of Izmir when it had what the Transportation Ministry described as a “rough landing.” The ministry said no one died in the incident. "

a low- cost.. 11 year old Boeing jetliner that crashes & breaks into 3 pieces & no one died..

now that's what I call passenger safety..

2 Asian pilots.. at least no one is saying Asians Cannot Drive..

Not just Boeing... Boeing 737

What was it this time... faulty brakes?

Hopefully the world can buy airbus and be a safer place

Why does it always seem to be these plane crashes involve pilots from backwards, third world hell holes?

Maybe Boeing should build an export model 737 suitable to the outside world's scientific intellect -

yes.. Allah is crossing the Mediterranean this year....

I just read this is the third time Pegasus crews ran a plane off the runway in two years. This one was worse though.
