Plane crashes in Thailand resort
Many people are feared dead after a plane crashed on landing in bad weather at the Thai resort of Phuket, aviation officials say.
The plane, carrying 123 passengers, a number of them foreigners, crashed after hitting the runway heavily in strong winds and heavy rain.
The number of casualties is not clear but there are reports of survivors.
Flight OG 269, operated by budget airline One-Two-Go, was landing after a journey from the capital, Bangkok.
Rescue operations are under way at the airport and doctors are being flown to Phuket to treat the injured.
Rescuers said the plane caught fire after crashing.
Civil aviation official Chiasak Angkauwan said: "The airplane asked to land but due to the weather in Phuket - strong wind and heavy rain - maybe the pilot did not see the runway clearly.
"The plane then fell onto the runway and broke into two."
One-Two-Go is owned by Orient Thai Airways.
