A TACA International Boeing 767-200 landed far down wet runway 19 at Guatemala City La Aurora about 17 knots above reference speed with a tailwind. The captain could not stop in time, and the jet left the runway through a perimeter fence, went down an embankment and came to rest against houses. All occupants got out, three people on the ground were slightly hurt, and the aircraft was written off.
