The initial investigation into the accident of a THAI aircraft at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport Sunday night showed the back right landing gear may be the cause of the accident.
Department of Civil Aviation director general Voradej Harnprasert said this caused the plane to lose balance and skid off the runway. The slide resulted in the engine on the right wing to make contact with the ground, causing sparks and fire at the body of the plane.
He said the black box would be checked to identify the exact details of the incident.
