COPENHAGEN, Denmark - A Scandinavian Airlines turboprop carrying 73 people crashed during an emergency landing, catching fire as it hurtled down a runway in a cloud of smoke and dust. Five people sustained minor injuries, authorities said.
The Q400 turboprop's right landing gear collapsed during touchdown Sunday at the Aalborg airport in western Denmark, SAS said.
The plane was still on the runway Monday, blocking traffic. SAS decided to drop all flights to Aalborg because the alternate runway wasn't big enough for its planes, spokesman Bertil Ternert said.
Fifteen European flights to and from Copenhagen were also canceled because of scheduling disruptions indirectly related to the accident, SAS said.
