An Aeropostal Douglas DC-9-50, registration YV136T performing flight VH-342 from Caracas to Puerto Ordaz (Venezuela) with 125 passengers and 5 crew, made a hard touch down at Puerto Ordaz causing both engines' (JT8D) pylons and support structures at the airframe to crack and distort nearly separating the engines from the airframe. The airplane slowed safely, stopped on the runway and was shut down. No injuries occurred, the aircraft received substantial damage. The passengers disembarked onto the runway.

The aircraft was later towed off the runway.
