Regional jet overshoots landing at Virginia airport

Officials say no injuries were reported after a commercial regional jet overshot the designated touch down zone at a Virginia airport amid heavy rain, but was stopped in a safety area at the end of the runway. Delays continue at the airport on Thursday morning. The Federal Aviation Administration says CommuteAir Flight 4339 “landed long” as it arrived at Roanoke-Blacksburg Regional Airport around 10 p.m. It was safely stopped by an engineered materials arresting system bed at the end of the runway. An official from CommuteAir says 50 passengers and three crew members were on board the flight from Washington Dulles International Airport. The FAA will investigate.
