Plane crashes at Guyana airport

A Caribbean Airlines jet coming from New York has crashed and broken in two while landing in Guyana with 163 people aboard, causing several injuries but no deaths.

The Boeing 737-800 apparently overshot the 7,400ft runway at Cheddi Jagan International Airport in rainy weather. It barely missed a 200ft ravine that could have resulted in dozens of deaths, President Bharrat Jagdeo said.
