TURKEY: Passenger Plane Skids Off The Runway, Breaks Into Two And Bursts Into Flames

A plane skidded off the runway and burst into flames at a Turkish airport on Wednesday afternoon, injuring 21 people. 

The internal flight from Izmir to Istanbul with 177 passengers on board was touching down at Sabiha Gokcen airport in Istanbul in very wet weather, when the Pegasus plane overshot the landing. 

Footage shows serious damage to the fuselage of the Boeing 737, with passengers being evacuated through the cracks.

Officials said no one has been killed in the incident and the blaze was later put out by firefighters.
