A cargo DC-8 from Miami landed at Medellin on 15 October 1992 and lost directional control. The captain cut the reverse thrust after suspecting asymmetric thrust, but the jet left the runway, struck the runway lights and lost its nose gear. All three crew escaped uninjured and the aircraft was written off.
