An ATR-72 turboprop plane went off a runway in Rome on Saturday, resulting in six injuries, including two that were serious.
A Romanian plane carrying 46 passengers veered off a runway during a landing at Rome’s Leonardo da Vinci airport on Saturday, injuring six passengers, an airport official told Reuters.
Two passengers suffered concussions and were transported to a hospital, the official said. The injuries were non-life threatening, a senior official told Italy’s Sky TG24-TV.
Although the cause of the accident remains unclear, strong winds may have been the culprit, pushing the plane into the grass.
The ATR 72 turboprop plane is owned by Romania’s Carpatair airline, based in Timisoara. Its planes leave from Romania, Moldova and Ukraine.
The airline operates some flights on behalf of Italian flag-carrier, Alitalia, under a contract.

Is pot legal in Romania?that might answer a few questions as to why.Then again there is always alcohol too.
Seriously? Pot has nothing to do with the story. You might just as well blame it on Obama.
Oops, I probably started a new conspiracy.
Then again you could be a moron.....
Alcohol? Maybe. Smart phone? Maybe. Pot? No way.
what's the matter? no sense of humor when it comes to pot?!CO.don't worry about it.Just take another drag and blame Bush which is what you really want to do anyway.2 vinny.Takes one to know one i guess.a five letter word like that is quite an achievement for you.3 NewStart it's just humor. I forgot that POT is sacred to some of you people.geeeeez it must make you thin skinned as well as thick headed.
wolf that's not funny at all. STOP joking about pot. How would you like it if we balmed it on your diabetes medication ?
Can't anyone ever comment about the story instead of exhibiting a COMPLETE sense of arrogance and stupidity ? Look at me I said something funny thereefore you should believe that I am smart ...
Ridiculous .... Why don't you people talk about @!$%#ty italian driving (which I experienced in person)? They all think they are macho until a fellow italian points out a series of flower memorials on almost all roads indicating where someone died in a traffic loss. As he was pointing this out a motorcyclist passed me on the right yelling ...And I drove a cab in San Francisco for 5 years during college so I'm no slouch.
italians are arrogant drivers (even women) and you should see how they treat the north african immigrants and albanians in general . And all they've shown the world was the costa concordia incident ...
Pot is a joke.I am not on diabetetes meds like you stated.I think you missed your zolofts.I know all about driving in San Fran as well.A few years at the Presido was a real learning experience.(including those high priced parking tickets)I've spent some time in Italy too, and your assessment of their driving skills is indeed correct.(In fact,you are being nice about it.)The French and Germans are not much different either.You are also right about Italian racism.When i visited Greece i noticed some burned out ruins where the Turks used to live.On Cyprus there are burned out houses where the Greeks used to live.
This is what happens when Alitalia is about to go bankrupt. They lay off pilots, reduce their mainline fleet, and let Carpatair operate their flights.
It looks like Alitalia livery, colors and all.
I know some moron is gonna think Romans are called Romanians....LOL
would that be the eastern or western empire?.LOL
Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.
Everyone knows Roman pilots (you know the ones from Romania) don't know how to fly airplanes. They do the chariot thing really well, but let them near a plane and they get really drunk on cheap wine from fourth class.
Also, because everything goes so slowly in Europe, before taking off, the cockpit crews often get out of the plane (already drunk of their a$$es) on the tarmac and re-paint's the enitre plane in the national carrier colors of the destination country to get better landing rights there. This explains why a Romanian aircraft has a Alitalia livery. Duh!
Why Drink and Drive when you can Smoke and Fly . . . ?
Be carefull Glue,The potheads get offended real easy around here.It's their right to toke up anytime they want.Don't worry about it if they are driving or at work.
Someone yelled!, "Right turn, Clide"..
Italian investigators think the cause of the plane skidding was a 'sex game gone wrong'. They will know in a few months after they interrogate all the passengers and demand bribes.
