Post by: casper on March 17, 2007, 07:33:51 PM
At least seven people have been killed and more than 20 hurt after a passenger plane made an emergency landing in central Russia, officials say.

They say the Tu-134 jet crashed on landing in the city of Samara, some 900km (550 miles) south-east of Moscow.

"The plane made a harsh landing. As a result the plane's fuselage broke apart," Russia's emergency situation ministry spokeswoman said.
