A Philippine Airlines A320 operating flight PR475 from Manila landed in good weather on runway 12/30 at Butuan. The aircraft could not stop in the remaining runway, went down an embankment and came to rest in a coconut grove, with the cockpit partly destroyed. Both pilots were seriously injured and most passengers escaped with minor injuries, and the aircraft was damaged beyond repair.
