Exclamation 9 Hurt in Air Transat Emergency Landing in Azores

An Air Transat A310 flying from Lisbon to Toronto made an emergency landing in the Azores this morning after a "sudden loss" of fuel.

The aircraft burst tyres on landing, and it is reported that fuel has been spilled extensively on the runway, causing the airport's closure.

Nine passengers were reportedly injured in the evacuation.
