No major injuries after plane runs off Texas runway, burns

BROOKSHIRE, Texas (AP) — Authorities say no one was seriously hurt when an airplane taking passengers to the AL Championship Series game in Boston ran off a runway and burned near Houston. The Federal Aviation Administration says the McDonnell Douglas MD-87 was carrying 21 people when it rolled through a fence and caught fire while trying to take off from the Houston Executive Airport in Brookshire on Tuesday morning. The FAA says everyone made it off the plane safely. The only reported injury was a passenger with back pain. Waller County Judge Trey Duhon said the group was headed to see the Astros and Red Sox play a game scheduled for Tuesday night. The aircraft is registered to a Houston-area investment firm.
