Freight phase: Landing flight Bogota-Eldorado - San Andres-esquicentenario
One of the mainwheel tyres burst on take-off. The take-off was continued and a holding
pattern was flown for 2 hours to burn up fuel. The aircraft then landed far down the
Bogota runway and when an overrun seemed unavoidable, the pilot undercarriage was
retracted. The Caravelle slid past the runway end, crossing a ditch before coming to rest
100m further on. The aircraft was carrying a cargo of 70 boxes of dynamite.
