The Captain of the plane makes the call whether to land or divert the plain in these types of situations. The reason why it skidded off the runway, is because the tires of the plane could not withstand the force of hitting the ground at that speed and they all blew, so the plane just skidded off the runway into the ditch.

I heard a story on the news that one guy driving along the highway stopped his car, climbed over the fence to where the plane had finished skidding, went inside the plane and helped the pilot search the plane in case there were any people left behind. rock:

Also someone already tried to get a lawyer and wanted to try and sue the pilot/airline, but the police aren't doing any criminal investigations, and no jerk offs trying to make money off this.

Glad to hear everyone made it out alive, this is truly a miracle, and this pilot should be awarded for doing such a good job.
