Watch moment plane skids off runway and loses its wings in Somalia



A small passenger plane veered off the runway on arrival on Tuesday at the Mogadishu international airport in Somalia, according to state media.

Video of the incident posted to social media by journalist Harun Maruf showed the aircraft sliding into view before careening into a fence and concrete wall, partially detaching the cockpit.

The Somali National News Agency cited the Transport Minister as saying one person was injured but all had been safely rescued.

“The Somali Civil Aviation Authority would like to reaffirm that the preliminary report will be released once the current investigation concludes,” an agency statement read.

It is not immediately clear what caused the accident. Weather at the seaside airport was cloudy at the time.

In July last year, a passenger plane flipped on to its back at the airport before bursting into flame, sending smoke billowing into the sky above the capital. All crew and passengers were rescued.

Dubai works towards better air quality by 2021

Dubai is on a mission to record good air quality for 90 per cent of the year – up from 86 per cent annually today – by 2021.

The municipality plans to have seven mobile air-monitoring stations by 2020 to capture more accurate data in hourly and daily trends of pollution.

These will be on the Palm Jumeirah, Al Qusais, Muhaisnah, Rashidiyah, Al Wasl, Al Quoz and Dubai Investment Park.

“It will allow real-time responding for emergency cases,” said Khaldoon Al Daraji, first environment safety officer at the municipality.

“We’re in a good position except for the cases that are out of our hands, such as sandstorms.

“Sandstorms are our main concern because the UAE is just a receiver.

“The hotspots are Iran, Saudi Arabia and southern Iraq, but we’re working hard with the region to reduce the cycle of sandstorm generation.”

Mr Al Daraji said monitoring as it stood covered 47 per cent of Dubai.

There are 12 fixed stations in the emirate, but Dubai also receives information from monitors belonging to other entities.

“There are 25 stations in total,” Mr Al Daraji said.

“We added new technology and equipment used for the first time for the detection of heavy metals.

“A hundred parameters can be detected but we want to expand it to make sure that the data captured can allow a baseline study in some areas to ensure they are well positioned.”
