Hello A-S
I am English, not Romanian but I live there so this is the best I can do!

"Headline :
An aircraft leaves the runway!

A serious accident happened at Otopeni Airport.
An aircraft belonging to Romavia undertaking a flight for Carpatia left the runway whilst landing.
From first information it appears that the crew lost control due to storms.
These caused very strong winds.
The incident happened at approx 1830.
The aircraft was on the route from Timisoara-Bucharesti with a stop at Craiova.
In the aircraft was approx 30 persons
All passengers evacuated the aircraft.
There were no casualties."

The video does show the correct runway where the accident occurred but the rest is stock footage as there was no fog today!

I should be able to find out later today exactly which aircraft it was.

VBR
