Honduras plane crash: Private jet splits in half in crash landing

All on board survived the crash landing of the chartered jet flying from Texas to Honduras.

At least six Americans were injured when a plane crash landed in Honduras's capital Tegucigalpa on Tuesday morning.

The Gulfstream G200 aircraft was on a private flight from Austin, Texas, when it skidded off the runway at Toncontin International Airport.

Authorities have given conflicting accounts of how many were on board, some



saying six or nine, but a police official did say "Thank God there are no fatalities."

One witness told that he helped five men and a woman out of the plane, all of whom were "practically unharmed".

The executive jet, which split in half, had veered into a ditch, a Honduran official told local media.

Surrounded by mountains and with a very short runway, the Toncontin airport is considered one of the world's most treacherous.
