Two people were killed and more than 80 others injured when a passenger plane rolled off the runway after making an emergency landing at a Moscow airport, Russian officials say.

All of the plane's three engines had failed by the time it landed at Domodedovo airport.

The Russian-built TU-154 was carrying about 170 passengers and crew en route for southern Russia.

The plane broke up after leaving the runway.

Funny how a good friend and I were talking about his surviving a plane crash in the woods in Luxembourg (from Moscow) a few decades ago. He was the second person to leave their aircraft and 38 of them survived. Every time we discuss that crash I am struck by the one thing that worried him when the aircraft crashed and caught afire - who would raise his then two year old son.
