Birmingham airport: terror plane skids off runway
A plane has dramatically overshot the runway at Birmingham Airport today. The Boeing 737 was travelling from Nice when the front wheel diverted from the taxi pathway, sending the aircraft off course. Emergency crews scrambled to the scene as passengers scrambled down the steps.
A spokesman for Birmingham Airport said: "We can confirm that there were no injuries and no one was hurt. The passengers left the aircraft using the steps and are currently being transferred to the terminal where they will be looked after whilst the bags are removed from the aircraft hold.
Flights at the busy commuter airport were suspended but are now operating again.
