There’s one airline in South Africa, and I’m not going to name names, where the pilots always start their descent too late before coming into OR Tambo International Airport.

What ensues is a fun few minutes at the end, where babies scream and paranoid flyers panic.

That’s nothing compared to what happened in Micronesia, tough, when an Air Niugini pilot tried to land and missed the runway. Air Niugini is the national airline of Papua New Guinea, and has been in operation since 1973.

Here’s TIME:

The Air Niugini plane hit the water short of the runway while trying to land at Chuuk Island in the Federated States of Micronesia, according to the airline.

Striking footage from the scene shows people being rescued in boats from the half-submerged plane, in images reminiscent of the 2009 crash-landing in New York City known as the “Miracle on the Hudson.”

You can see rescue teams hard at work to save the passengers, all of whom survived the crash:

Again, good news on the health front:

The airline said in a brief statement everybody aboard the Boeing 737 plane was able to safely evacuate, and the airline was making all efforts to ensure the ongoing safety of the passengers and meet their immediate needs.

The airline did not immediately say how many people were aboard the plane, where it was traveling from, or what caused the crash. Local news reports indicated between 40 and 50 people were aboard.

Here’s more footage:

Micronesia is located north of Australia and east of the Philippines, and is home to just over 100 000 people.

Following the rescue operations, the plane sank slowly into the lagoon.
