Pare che stamattina un piccolo turboelica cargo polacco subito dopo essere decollato dall'aeroporto di Tallinn sia stato costretto ad atterrare sul lago ghiacciato Ulemiste, che dista solo poche centinaia di metri dalla pista. Nessuno si è fatto male.

Cargo plane forced to land on frozen Estonian lake
(AP) – 9 hours ago
L'aereo un Antonov AN26 non stava decollando da Tallinn, bensi stava arrivando dalla Finlandia e doveva atterrare a Tallinn.

TALLINN, Estonia — Estonian authorities say a Polish cargo plane has made an emergency landing on a frozen lake near the capital due to landing gear and engine problems.

Economy Ministry spokesman Kalev Vapper says one of the six crew members suffered minor injuries as the Antonov AN26 turboprop aircraft en route from Finland to Estonia landed on the ice of Lake Ulemiste.

Vapper says the plane was preparing to land Thursday at Tallinn's airport when the crew noticed one part of the landing gear would not lower. One of the engines then started to malfunction on the plane's second approach, and the crew decided to make an emergency landing on the iced-over lake.

Estonian authorities say they will investigate the incident.
 
a volte strade e laghi ghiacciati aiutano:)
credo almeno 40 cm di spessore. Il problema è che da quel lago l'acquedotto di Tallinn attinge l'acqua e forse l'aereo ha perso un pò di carburante.
