New Delhi: In a shocking incident, a passenger jet skidded off from the runway to get stuck in the mud on the edge of a cliff in northern Turkey.
“We tilted to the side, the front was down while the plane’s rear was up. There was panic; people shouting, screaming,” one of the passengers, Fatma Gordu, reportedly told state-run news agency Anadolu.
The flight contained 162 passengers and all of them were evacuated safely. None of them were said to be hurt.
It wasn’t immediately known as to what caused the plane to skid off from the runway to reach very close to the shore’s edge.
