Iran airliner overshoots runway, stops on highwayAn Iranian passenger plane is seen after sliding off the runway upon landing at Mahshahr airport, Iran, on Monday. (Reuters photo)An Iranian passenger plane overshot a runway as it landed Monday in the southwestern city of Bandar-e Mahshahr, barrelling onto an adjacent highway without causing casualties, state TV reported. "Arriving at Mahshahr airport, the pilot landed the aircraft too late and this caused him to miss the runway," the broadcaster quoted the head of Khuzestan province's aviation authority as saying. This "caused the aircraft to overshoot the runway and stop in a boulevard" next to the airport, Mohammadreza Rezaeia said. State TV reported that all were safe.
