2013/08/25

MOSCOW, August 25 (RIA Novosti) – A passenger plane overshot the runaway at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport on Sunday, but no one was hurt in the incident, a police spokesman said.


The aircraft landed at about 12.35 p.m. local time on a flight from Rhodes, Greece. No injuries were reported among 170 passengers and seven crew members.


A police spokesman said the aircraft has landed “in the grass.” The passengers are being evacuated.


In December, a Red Wings Tu-204 airliner overshot the runway at Vnukovo Airport outside Moscow and crashed into a main highway, splitting into three pieces and killing five people on board and injuring the other three.
