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?

But that's what he was trying to do

I have no idea, but this seems to be almost purely mechanical failure as well

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

I would definitely check out the maintenance records of a company called Fly Jamaica

from that view looks like it would have been even worse with just a little more momentum over that hill/bank

How bad do you have to want to get to Canada to willingly fly Air Jamaica out of Guyana?

At least 20 years old since the 300 series came out in 1999.

Manufactured from 1983 to 2004 according to Wikipedia.
