One-Two-GO Airlines Flight 269

The 23-year-old McDonnell Douglas MD-82 (registration HS-OMG), which departed from Bangkok's Don Mueang International Airport at 2:30 p.m. local time (0730 UTC) and scheduled to land in Phuket at 3:50 p.m. local time (0850 UTC), slid off the runway, split into two, and exploded into flames after an apparent attempt to execute a go-around.

The plane was carrying 123 passengers and 7 crew members.

Air traffic controllers at the airport had given permission to the pilots to abort the landing moments before touchdown. Instead, the "plane smashed onto the runway, careened into an embankment and broke in two."

23-year-old Parinyawich Chusaeng, who survived the crash on flight 269, told AFP:

"The plane just dropped really fast and then jerked back up. The right wing hit a tree and then the plane hit the ground. The people all around me were burning. Some on the floor and some standing, and they were on fire."

Chaisak Angsuwan, director general of the Air Transport Authority of Thailand said:

The visibility was poor as the pilot attempted to land. He decided to make a go-around but the plane lost balance and crashed. It was torn into two parts.

A witness, William Harding, said:

The inside (of the plane) was totally on fire and about five minutes of burning, there was a small explosion that blew off top of the plane.

Canadian Survivor, Mildred Anne Furlong, said:

"We started to go for the landing and [the pilot] just about hit the runway, but couldn't make it, so he lifted back up. We started to circle. I thought he was going to circle back around and try again, and then we took a sharp right and we started going for the ground."
"We bounced once and then went straight into an embankment with trees and bushes."
"It was raining really hard. We saw a couple of people who were on fire. Just a handful of us made it out. I counted 17 or 20 who had made it out on their own.".
