An airport in France has been closed ‘indefinitely’ after a cargo plane landed too far, its front end ending up in a lake.
The Boeing 737 overshot the runway just before 3am local time (4am UK time) on Saturday.
The West Atlantic flight came to rest in reeds, grass and water at Montpellier airport, which serves the country’s Mediterranean coast.
About sixty firefighters were sent to the scene, about six kilometers from the French city.
Three people on board were all rescued unharmed from the aircraft, which contained air cargo.
Authorities said the airport is now closed to passenger and cargo flights until the plane has been moved.
An investigation is ongoing into the incident.
