An Iranian passenger plane ended up belly-down in the middle of a highway after reportedly skidding off the runway during a “missed” landing.
An Iranian passenger plane with 135 people on board has skidded off the runway and onto a road with its wheels still retracted — and, miraculously, no one was hurt.
Photos and videos from the scene on Monday in the Iranian city of Mahshahr show the Caspian Airlines plane grounded in the middle of the road, with traffic banked up and pedestrians on either side. The plane, lying flat on its belly, appears largely undamaged.
Caspian Airlines Flight 6936 departed from the capital city, Tehran, early today (27 Jan 2020) and was set to land at Mahshahr Airport, in the country’s southwest, when it skidded onto Mahshahr-e-Ahwaz highway, according to Fars.
