context_page_description: A Boeing 737-800 operating XiamenAir Flight 8667 crash landed at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Metro Manila and skidded off the runway while attempting to land at the airport. The 16 August 2018 crash occurred at 11:55 pm at the end of the two and a half hour flight from Xiamen.
  While the crash had no fatalities, numerous flights at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport were suspended. The runway 06/24 was closed from the time of the incident until 05:00 am on 18 August 2018. One of the engines of twin-engine 737-800 was torn off the plane.
  The flight crew operating the flight are quoted as saying that the extremely heavy rain served as an obstruction to visual navigation to the runway on final, however transcripts between the air traffic controller and the crew do not indicate anything unusual.
  The accident was probed by the Senate of the Philippines through its Senate Committee on Public Services which was headed by Senator Grace Poe. The hearing, attended by XiamenAir officials, took place on 29 August 2018.
