Two people were killed and 83 injured when a passenger jet with 155 people on board skidded off the runway during an emergency landing at a Moscow airport today, Russian officials said.
The plane, a Tu-154 belonging to Dagestan Airlines, was forced to land at Domodedovo Airport after its engines cut out, federal aviation agency spokesman Sergei Izvolsky said in televised comments. The cause of the engine failure was unclear, he added.
