Plane skids off runway

One week after the tragic plane accident that killed 155 people over the Brazilian Amazon, another aircraft from the same company - Gol Airlines - skidded off a runway during its landing at the Sao Paulo Congonhas airport. Despite the incident, none of the plane's 120 passengers and six crew were injured. The plane was coming from Cuiaba, and the light rain that fell in the city at the time of the accident (6am local time) may have contributed to the plane failing to land properly. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the accident.
