Aeroflot DC-10 incident at Frankfurt-Hahn

A friend of mine (working at the Hahn airport) just called me and said a DC-10F of Aeroflot Cargo overshot the snow covered runway, apparently with one engine on fire.

The fire was quickly put out by firefighters, but the machine is stuck in the mud, and the airport is closed for now. Gladly noone got hurt, the crew is a little shaken but otherwise okay.

The cause of the fire is not determined yet, but rumour has it the fire started when reverse thrust was selected.
