SPLIT IN THE MIDDLE; BUT LUCKY ESCAPE: Firefighters spray foam on the wreckage of a plane, after it went off the runway at Toncontin International Airport and collapsed over a busy boulevard in Tegucigalpa on Tuesday. At least six Americans were injured on Tuesday when a plane crashed while landing at the Honduran capital’s international airport and split in two. The commercial jet from Austin, Texas, left the runway and veered into a ditch, Carlos Cordero, deputy head of Honduras’s disaster relief agency Copeco told local media. Surrounded by mountains and with a very short runway, the Toncontin airport is considered one of the world’s most treacherous. — AFP
