A cargo plane broke in two after an emergency landing at the international airport in Costa Rica’s capital, San Jose. The machine of the DHL parcel service Boeing 757 had hydraulic problems, local fire chief Héctor Chaves announced on the spot at Juan Santamaría airport. The pilot and co-pilot, the only people on board, were uninjured.
