Passengers were rescued from a Boeing 737 that skidded off the runway while landing in heavy rain in Equatorial Guinea.

The Ceiba Intercontinental flight had flown from the Aeropuerto Internacional de Bata to the Malabo International Airport when it overshot the runway on August 29.

Footage shows how worried passengers were evacuated on the emergency slides. Officials said there were no injuries.

The plane's nose sunk into the soft ground and was assessed for damage.

Equatorial Guinea's Meteorological Office reported the crash was caused by weather issues.

They confirmed that although the aircraft managed to land in poor visibility and with rainwater on the runway, the aircraft slid off the runway into an unsuitable area.
