A South Korean airliner overran the runway at Hiroshima Airport Tuesday evening.
Reports to the transport ministry say Asiana Airlines flight 162 veered off the runway while landing.
The ministry says 74 passengers and 7 crew members were on board the Airbus A320.
All of the passengers and crew got out the plane. Firefighters say about 20 people were injured.
Aviation officials say the plane left South Korea's Inchon Airport and was due to arrive at Hiroshima at 8 PM local time. Hiroshima airport has been closed since the incident.

Hard to tell if it's mechanical or pilot error. Asiana is the "other" SK airline, besides KAL. Short video at link.

Asiana is the "other" SK airline, besides KAL Asiana is also the airline that came up short at San Francisco. Now they're long at Hiroshima. I suppose it all averages out for most landings.

Takes more than that to get anyone’s attention in Hiroshima. Go big or go home.

You have a young navigator here! Well, I’ll tell you son... Due to a Cetcil wind, Dystor’s vectored us into a 360-tarson of slow air traffic. Now we’ll maintain this Borden hold until we get the Forta Magnus clearance from Melnics.
