The Houston-bound Boeing 737-500 Continental flight 1404, which skidded off the runway on Saturday, packed with 110 passengers and five crew members, skidded off Denver International Airport's runway 34-Right and into a ravine at 6:18 p.m. on Saturday.

Authorities say the crash injured 38 people, two of whom are listed in critical condition. Several ambulances responded to the scene, transporting the injured passengers to a number of local hospitals. Broken bones, wrenched backs and shortness of breath were among the injuries reported from the accident.

The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the aircraft, which veered 200 yards off the runway and caught fire as it tried to take off.

Looks like everyone involved did an exemplary job getting all the passengers off that 737. This could have been a tragedy. Well done by all
