More than 20 passengers safely pulled out without any major injuries from an MD-47 plane after it crashed into a fence and erupted in the fire as the take-off slipped at Houston Executive Airport.
All the 18 passengers, 2 pilots, and one crew managed to escape from the crashed plane, only two with minor injuries before firefighters extinguished the flames on it in a nearby field outside the airport.
Texas Department of Public Safety spokesman Sgt. Stephen Woodard said that the McDonnell Douglas MD-87 traveled 500 meters on the runway before take-off. The plane failed to manage the right altitude at the end of the run, fell down to a northside field after crossing Morton Road.
FAA said the plane rolled through a fence after coming down to the field and caught fire at around 10 AM.
