14 Hurt As Thai Flight Skids Off Runway

A Thai Airways plane skidded off the runway in Bangkok after the landing gear malfunctioned, slightly injuring more than a dozen passengers as they evacuated the jet, the airline said on Monday. The incident late on Sunday at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport involved an Airbus 330-300
carrying 288 passengers and 14 crew members on a flight from Guangzhou in southern China, the carrier said.

The plane was seen resting on grass on Monday morning next to the runway with its evacuation slides still deployed and the Thai Airways name and logo hastily covered up.

"Sparks were noticed from the vicinity of the right landing gear near the engine; the matter is under investigation," the airline said in a statement.

"The captain took control of the aircraft until it came to a complete stop and passengers were evacuated from the aircraft emergency exits. The operation was conducted by the captain and cabin crew strictly according to emergency procedures."

About 14 people were slightly injured when they escaped down the emergency slides, Thai Airways president Sorajak Kasemsuvan told local television.

"They were sent to hospital but most of them received treatment and were discharged," he added.

The carrier said it would take about 24 hours to remove the aircraft, which could cause flight delays.

The incident comes just over a week after dozens of passengers and crew were injured when a Thai Airways A380 superjumbo hit severe turbulence during a flight from Bangkok to Hong Kong.

Ranveer Singh who is currently busy with his next film Lootera has met with a serious back injury while shooting for the film in Dalhousie.

An MRI scan revealed that he has hurt his lower back and has been kept under observation. The actor is in extreme pain and the doctors have advised the actor to take complete bed rest for at least two weeks.

A source close to the movie said, "He was shooting on Saturday when he got injured. However, he did not pay much heed to it and continued shooting. It wasn't until Tuesday morning that the pain aggravated so much that it was unbearable and he could not shoot anymore. Finally, he had to be driven to Pathan Court to a doctor. An MRI scan has been performed. The pain is in his lower back and he is under observation and has been asked to take complete bed rest."

Lootera is an upcoming 2012 Bollywood romantic film directed and co-produced by Vikramaditya Motwane and starring Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead roles. The film is a co-production between Ekta Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms and Vikas Bahl, Anurag Kashyap & Vikramaditya Motwane's production house Phantom.

Ranveer Singh had earlier danced to the tunes of Band Baaja Baaraat for the huge crowd that gathered outside his hotel in Purulia District, Bengal where he is shooting for Lootera.

According to sources, Ranveer is still in Dalhousie and it is unclear when Ranveer would resume shooting.

We hope that he recovers soon !!!
