It was one of those “Is
that even real?” moments on Monday when photos surfaced showing a Boeing 737
dangling from a cliff above the Black Sea in Ankara, Turkey.
Yes, the photos of the
Pegasus Airlines passenger jet are real, and they show just how close the
737-800 came to ending up in the frigid water after it slid off a wet runway at
Trabzon Airport on Turkey's northern coast.
Rescuing
the jetliner’s 168 passengers and crew was no easy feat as the airplane rested
on the muddy cliff wall just below the airport’s main runway. According to news reports, the pilots told investigators the
737’s right engine suddenly surged on landing, causing the airplane to veer to
the left and depart the runway.
The jetliner has since
been towed off the cliff wall and the airport has reopened.
