The aircraft landed at Jauja at 16:40 local time (21:40 UTC). Passengers reported "two strong impacts" on landing. All three landing gear legs collapsed and the aircraft slid along the runway, departed the runway to the right and the starboard wing impacted the airport's perimeter fence.[2][3] A fire broke out that destroyed the aircraft. All 141 passengers and nine crew on board escaped,[2][4] of whom thirty-nine people were injured and taken to hospital. Two people sustained broken bones,[5] and three people were concussed.[3] The accident was caught on camera, taken by several passengers on board.[6]

Investigations

The Comisión de Investigación de Accidentes de Aviación,[2] and the Criminal Prosecutor's Office in Jauja both opened investigations into the accident.[4]

Notes

  1. ↑ The aircraft was a Boeing 737-300 model; Boeing assigns a unique code for each company that buys one of its aircraft, which is applied as an infix to the model number at the time the aircraft is built, hence "737-3M8".
