At 2221 e.s.t. on October 28, 1973, Piedmont Airlines Flight 20 (N751N), a B-737, ran off the end of runway 14 after landing at the Greensboro-High Point-Winston-Salem Regional Airport, in Greensboro, North Carolina. There were 92 passengers and 4 crewmembers aboard; 4 passengers and 1 flight attendant were injured slightly. Flight 20 made an ILS approach to runway 14 and touched down at a faster-than-normal airspeed 2,600 feet beyond the approach end of the runway. The landing was executed during heavy rain showers and with a following wind. The aircraft ran off the end of the runway, and the three landing gears collapsed as the aircraft crossed a service road, 640 feet beyond the runway. The aircraft was damaged substantially. The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was ineffective braking action caused by dynamic hydroplaning on a rain-flooded runway.
