1999 A serious incident occurred with a Qantas Boeing 747 aircraft landing at Bangkok Airport, Thailand in wet weather, when it overshot the runway and came to rest on a golf course on 23 September 1999. While some passengers received minor injuries the aircraft required major repairs at a reported total of $100 million. The subsequent ATSB investigation cited contributing factors stemming from airline operating procedures and management as well as the need for CASA to adopt systems safety auditing. The ATSB was also critical of actions of crew on board after the accident, which led to a long delay in allowing passengers to exit. A CASA Board member, Mr Michael Ryan, of Consolidated Press Holdings corporate air fleet was aboard with 410 others.
