Happened about 30 minutes ago. This is the first major Media report. RT went breaking with it about 20 minutes ago.
Apparently clipped a power line on landing, slid off the runway.
Power is out at the airport.
No "Major" injuries reported so far.

How in the heck does a plane clip power lines coming into a runway?

Flightaware shows they circled several times west of the airport(hold?)...possibly waiting for visibility conditions to improve to minimums at the airport...or other.

Really? Power lines strung across the end of an airport runway? Where they can interfere with air traffic? What could possibly go wrong there? Sounds like part of a Laurel & Hardy movie plot.

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.

“No “Major” injuries reported so far.”
Any time you evacuate using the slides, 80 year old people don’t always do as well as 8 year old people.
