A video posted on social media by multiple sources has shown the money a DHL Boeing 757 skidded off the runway and broke into two sections in Costa Rica.

The aircraft had returned to the airport shortly after take-off due to a hydraulic issue with the aircraft and the emergency landing resulted in the 757 cargo aircraft being unable to stop in time at Costa Rica’s Juan Santamaria international airport.

The Boeing 757-200 had two crew members on board who were both uninjured.

DHL confirmed it has sent an incident response to the airport to deal with the immediate aftermath of the accident which will now be investigated by the Aviacion Civil.
