A plane en route from Germany landed on its engine at a Turkish airport following the collapse of its landing gear, a Turkish official says. None of the 156 people on board were injured. The landing gear of the Sky Airlines flight broke during the landing at Antalya Airport, causing the Boeing plane to skid on its right engine. Other flights weren't affected, the official tells the AP; no reason has yet been given for the accident. (More airplane stories.)
