On February 20, 1991, a brand-new British Aerospace BAE 146-200 aircraft, operated by a commercial airline, landed at Guardiamarina Airport in Port Williams, Chile. The aircraft landed under good weather conditions on an asphalt surface treatment runway and skidded more than 1,000 m into the Beagle Channel. It was a charter flight with 60 tourists on board; 40 survived. A long investigation provided evidence on why the aircraft skidded off the end of the runway.
