An Afghan passenger jet slid off the runway at Kabul airport on 16 September 2004, causing slight injuries to some of the 27 passengers onboard.

The Kam Air flight experienced engine trouble on its approach to the airport. It landed crookedly and swerved off the runway, according to a spokesperson for the NATO-led international peacekeeping force in Kabul.

Kabul airport has been partially renovated since NATO forces overthrew the Taliban regime and is now a hub for passenger, cargo and military flights, reports Reuters.
