- Location: Buenos Aires-Ezeiza-Ministro Pistarini, Buenos Aires City, Argentina

A VIASA DC-10 from Caracas landed about 750 to 800 metres past the threshold at Buenos Aires Ezeiza in poor weather and wet runway conditions. It could not stop in the remaining runway, the nose gear collapsed on soft ground, and it came to rest beyond the runway. All 123 occupants evacuated safely, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
