Turkey is working to recover a plane that skidded off a runway last Saturday in the northern part of the country.

Workers are trying to lift the plane using two huge cranes, while moving very slowly to maintain balance. The Pegasus Airlines Boeing 737 had 162 passengers and six crew members on board when it skidded off the runway at Trabzon Airport. Fortunately, it stopped at an acute angle only a few metres away from the Black Sea. All passengers and crew were evacuated and no one was injured in the incident. A Turkish media report says the pilots of the plane told investigators that the plane's right engine experienced a sudden surge of speed that forced it to swerve left.
