- Date: October 26, 1993
- Aircraft: McDonnell Douglas MD-82
- Location: Fuzhou, Fujian, China
- Fatalities: 2
- Phase of flight: Approach and landing
- Cause: Wrong approach configuration by the flight crew on a wet runway, with a late go-around decision and reduced braking performance.
A China Eastern MD-82 flying from Shenzhen approached Fuzhou in heavy rain, too high and well right of the centreline. The captain started a go-around too late, and the aircraft touched down almost 2 km past the threshold on a wet runway. It overran, lost its undercarriage and broke in three in a swamp, killing two passengers and injuring 25 others.
