I suppose this will give fuel to those who want to close the airport. It seems that nobody was seriously hurt and the plane landed on the runway.

We should be pleased about the outcome being so minor in the circumstances. Probably a case of saying well done to the pilot.

"Moderate damage?" It looks like a total loss.
