Re: Plane Spotters Corner
Quote:
A fully-booked passenger plane came within yards of plunging into the Black Sea when it skidded off an icy runway while trying to land.
The jet's 162 passengers had a lucky escape when the wheels of their Pegasus Airlines flight dug into the freezing mud at Trabzon Airport - leaving it dangling precariously off a coastal cliff.
Turkish officials said the cause of the accident was not yet known, and closed the airport overnight to conduct an investigation.
Dramatic photos appear to show smoke billowing from the cabin - but Trabzon Governer Yucel Yavuz said all 162 passengers and crew on board were evacuated safely.
