1 killed as Russian plane skids off runway


Moscow, Russia (CNN) -- At least one person was killed and eight others injured Saturday when a Russian passenger plane skidded off a runway after an emergency landing in Moscow, a Russian official said.
The plane made an emergency landing after all three of its engines failed, Russian Emergency Situations Ministry spokeswoman Veronika Smolskaya said.
There were 155 people aboard, including seven children, she said.
The flight landed at Moscow's Domodedovo airport about a half hour after it took off from Moscow's Vnukovo airport, headed for Makhachkala in southern Russia, Smolskaya said.
The plane was a Tupolev-154 belonging to Dagestani Airlines, she said. CNN
