A Fly Jamaica Airways Boeing Co. jet en route to Toronto crash landed after returning to Guyana with a fault. Six people are reported injured and pictures show substantial damage to the starboard wing and engine.

Fly Jamaica Flight 256 headed back to the Guyanan capital Georgetown because of a technical problem, the airline said in a statement on its website, adding that all 118 passengers and 8 crew members are safe.

The aircraft, a Boeing 757-200 according Flightradar 24, was bound for Canada when it suffered a hydraulic issue after take-off, AFP reported, citing Guyana’s infrastructure minister, David Patterson. The twin-engine jet skidded off the runway, injuring half a dozen people, according to the report.

At least the pilot was able to miss the ocean.

Isn’t a 200 model really old?

I'm sure it's all Boeing's fault, not a maintenance crew in fricking Guyana.

How high was the Jamaica Air flight? Not high enough.
