Air Niugini PX73 overshoots into Chuuk Lagoon
 
New Route from Narita to POM via Chuuk has only been operating a few weeks and it seems they went off the end of the runway when landing at Chuuk, ending up in the lagoon. Casualties not known at this stage. Aircraft appears to be intact.

EDIT, and another link with Video. All on board seem to have got out OK.

Good that everyone's OK.

The salt water will make this one a write-off, though.

Person on board says they landed short.
