Philippine Airlines Flight 137
Philippine Airlines Flight 137 was a scheduled passenger flight from Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila to Bacolod City Domestic Airport in Bacolod.On March 22, 1998, Flight 137 overshot the runway while landing at Bacolod City Domestic Airport.There were no fatalities among the aircraft's crew and passengers, but three people died on the ground as the airliner plowed through a residential area.[3][4] A selection by the pilot of the wrong mode on the onboard flight computers prevented power from being reduced to idle, which inhibited the thrust reverser and spoilers from being used.The offending engine was shut down, and brakes applied, but the aircraft was unable to stop before the end of the runway.
