Hard Landing Of Pegasus Flight 2193
On February 5, 2020, a commercial flight operated by Pegasus Airlines was scheduled to depart from Izmir Adnan Menderes Airport and arrive in Istanbul-Sabiha Gökçen Airport in Turkey. Upon arrival, the aircraft was unable to stop on the runway. The aircraft first crashed into the Instrument Landing System (“ILS”) antennas, then a guard booth, and finally fell onto the area about 30 meters deep from the runway head. The aircraft involved was a Boeing 737-86J commercial airplane.
The result of the crash was catastrophic. The aircraft’s body broke into three pieces after hitting the concrete wall and wire fences surrounding the airport. Engines, landing gear, wings, and some other parts were scattered among the debris. Of the 183 individuals aboard Flight 2193, 179 were seriously injured. Three individuals were killed.
The Lawsuit Alleges Boeing Was Negligent
Plaintiffs’ Turkish-American Attorney Seyit A. Sahin, Esq. of HELP Law Offices LLC in Chicago stated, “we will not rest until justice prevails for all victims involved in this catastrophic event.”
The lawsuit alleges Boeing was negligent in the design and/or manufacturing of the aircraft’s autobrake and speedbrake systems. These are automated systems that are intended to slow the plane after touchdown. However, on Flight 2193, these systems failed. Data shows there was a period of six seconds when deceleration devices were not used before the Pilot in Command was forced to implement manual braking.
Attorney on behalf of Plaintiffs, Hunter J. Shkolnik, Esq. expressed concern for those affected. “Our hearts go out to the families who have loved ones injured in this avoidable incident. While there is no compensation that can replace the loss of life, we are representing those affected so that justice can be served on those who caused this tragic event.”
