It landed hard, skidded off of the runway and exploded.[2][3] Twenty-two passengers and one crew member died.[2][3]

The Douglas DC-9, registration YV-67C, was on an internal flight when it made an ILS approach in thick fog at Barquisimeto Airport, Venezuela.[2] The DC-9 landed hard 1,015 meters beyond the runway threshold, causing the landing gear to collapse. The aircraft subsequently slid off the runway and exploded.[2] The aircraft was carrying 45 passengers and 5 crew, of whom one crewman and 22 of the passengers died. Ten passengers were seriously injured.[2] Amongst the dead was Luis Enrique Arias, sports narrator of the Venezuelan Television Network.[1]
Investigation
The probable causes were ruled to be "Improper in-flight decisions and inadequate supervision of the flight".[2]
