An12 RTO/Rwy excursion in Yemen

It is reported that an Antonov 12 was wrecked after overrunning by some 400 metres and catching fire after an RTO at Al-Riyan, Yemen.

The plane was said to be operating for "RPS Air Freight" of Dubai. (I haven't heard of them either..) The load was said to be 17 tons of "Fish" (no flowers though, apparently). Crew made up of Russians and Somalis.

Isn't Riyan about 10,000 ft long?
