Montpellier airport in France was temporarily closed on the 24th after a Boeing freighter crashed into a nearby lake during landing.
A Boeing 737 cargo plane of West Atlantic Cargo Airlines skidded off the runway when it landed at Montpellier Airport in the early morning of the same day and plunged its nose into a nearby lake. Fortunately, no one was injured.
The cargo plane took off from Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport.
