All passengers have miraculously survived after an aeroplane slipped on a runway and crashed in bad weather conditions.
The accident happened at midday on Wednesday in the southern city of Osh, Kyrgyzstan, as the Soviet-built jet tried to land. The plane had originated in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek.

Photos from the wreckage show the Kyrgyzstan Airlines Tu-134 aircraft flipped on its head.
The jet carrying 80 passengers and six crew rolled off the runway, broke its wing, overturned and caught fire, according to officials.

"The landing was performed in thick fog. The plane skidded off the runway and turned to the left side. Its wing was smashed off. A loud explosion was heard," an airport spokesman told the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti.[[B]Related story:[/B] [URL="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=AvibcjE.qG7asDZleipxzCDffMl_;_ylu=X3oDMTFqMDgxZXM0BG1pdANBcnRpY2xlIEJvZHkEcG9zAzEEc2VjA01lZGlhQXJ0aWNsZUJvZHlBc3NlbWJseQ--;_ylg=X3oDMTJ1ZnA3dGplBGludGwDZ2IEbGFuZwNlbi1nYgRwc3RhaWQDYjE0ZDMwOWUtNTU5MC0zM2VhLTkwMTgtYjVkMmM4NTg5ZWMwBHBzdGNhdAN3b3JsZARwdANzdG9yeXBhZ2UEdGVzdAM-;_ylv=0/SIG=12mlnt2dk/EXP=1326477139/**http%3A//uk.news.yahoo.com/polish-plane-makes-emergency-landing.html"]Polish airplane makes miracle emergency landing[/URL]]

Tupolev is a Russian design bureau
Soviet airliners must suck since they crash all the time.
Soviet shit is cool, but there is a reason even russia doesn't use them any more- they're old as hell.

It's not the manufacturer's fault that the plane was poorly maintained and/or the pilots were incompetent.

Right, the air travel company will simply reach into it's endless source of money and buy new machines.
Or, they might just draw them, and fly on them, no?
New airplanes cost money.

Jokes aside, good that nobody was killed.
