i ever make the discussion about the wrong landed of airplane..
now there are another incident of airplane..
what`s going on with our airplane??
A Sriwijaya Air plane skidded off the runway as it landed amid heavy rain at Supadio Airport in the West Kalimantan town of Kubu Raya, near Pontianak, on Friday after a flight from Jakarta.
None of the 156 passengers were injured, but the airport was closed for 1.5 hours. Officers were only able to move the plane eight hours after it skidded off, at about 4:40 p.m.
“It was alright before landing. As usual, the flight attendants informed the passengers that the plane would land, but as soon as the tires touched the runway, the plane became shaky, and shortly after it skidded off the runway,” said Dewi, one of the passengers. “Everyone on board the plane screamed. I cried, didn’t know what would happen. Thank God we survived,” she added.
Due to heavy rains, the Boeing 737-400 plane was only able to be moved on to the taxiway around midnight.
Airport general manager Abiyoso said a team from the National Committee for Transportation Safety (KNKT) was expected to arrive in Pontianak midday on Saturday to start investigating the cause of the incident.
Another Sriwijaya airplane skidded off the same runway in June. It is still parked at the taxiway, pending investigation.
where is KNKT??
KNKT and the ministry of transportation should investigate why there are easily incident happen in our airplane??
this is about life, human life..

What's going on with our airplane? This incident is quite different than the previous incident of mis-landing in the wrong airport. Sriwijaya's case is because of heavy rain and the runway was wet due to the rain. The rain season has just started, the weather sometimes hot sometimes cloudy and sometimes rainy.
I dont think it was human error factor in the incident, so I hope people not exaggerating this incident. If you want to talk about human error's incident who need serious investigation that would be Lion Air in Semarang airport, which suddenly stopped at the runway because there was error in the Hydro system.

You have to learn when an incident caused by human factor or nature's factor like weather, etc. You just cannot put the blame on the airlines for every single incidents, sometimes the runway is too wet so the pilot cannot control it. I never been there and havent get information whether the airport's runway has standart length for better safety especially during the rainy season. But it is International airport, it should have International standart of runway.
Sriwijaya case is caused by wet runway from heavy rain, dont pick fault at airlines when there are other factors to consider in airflight accident. The pilot already did the best to minimize the accident, learn to appreciate it.
