At least 120 injured in Istanbul plane accident
ISTANBUL — At least 120 people were injured today when a plane skidded off the runway at an Istanbul airport and split into three after landing in rough weather, the city’s governor says.
“At the moment, 120 people who were injured have been hospitalized,” says governor Ali Yerlikaya, adding that most of them were “doing well, aside from one or two people.”
The Boeing 737 operated by Turkish low-cost carrier Pegasus Airlines had flown into Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcen airport from the Aegean port city of Izmir.
