Passengers on a Boeing 737 plane from New York to Guyana cheated death over the weekend after the plane slid off the end of a rainy runway, crashed through the airport fence and broke in half just short of a deep ravine.

All 163 people on board survived the crash, 30 of whom were taken to hospital, with only three being admitted for a broken leg, bumps, cuts and bruises, UK newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported.
