- Upon an unexpected touch down, the Swiss Boeing 777 veers off its intended runway path.

An AirBoeing from Swiss Air Lines International unexpectedly overshot the landing strip during an impromptu descent in Kazakhstan, becoming lodged in the grass with its undercarriage. The airline, a subsidiary of Lufthansa, revealed the cause for the landing on Saturday - a health emergency onboard. Miraculously, the 319 travelers aboard the flight from Tokyo to Zurich remained unscathed. The aircraft was successfully maneuvered back onto the runway. The Boeing 777-300ER is now undergoing thorough examination.

The Boeing 777-300ER needed to be carefully guided back onto the runway, avoiding any potential damage to its undercarriage. Subsequent inspections will likely focus on the runway to ensure it did not contribute to the overshoot.
