A Miami-bound passenger plane landing in the Honduran capital Tegucigalpa has overshot a runway, leaving at least four people dead.
About 65 people were also injured as the plane skidded off the runway and crashed into a busy street, trapping cars under its wings.
TACA airline's Flight 390 was arriving from El Salvador, carrying 135 passengers and crew.
Officials say the plane was trying to land in heavy rain and fog.

jordan, I like this story. It's good stuff. Planes hitting city streets, helicopters taking out pedestrians, certainly makes you value the time you have left on this earth.

Yeah, it's really scary, especially with how central some airports are: Vancouver and Melbourne spring to mind.

I think this is an important story and would benefit from other NowPublic contributors working on it. I've flagged it as News Wanted and invite others in relevant locations to look for more evidence.
