A Boeing 737 with 19 people aboard crash-landed at an airport in the Aleutian Islands community of Dutch Harbor, but only minor injuries were reported, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The plane, a MarkAir Flight 71, which was landing from Anchorage about 1:30 p.m., slid off the runway when its landing gear apparently folded, said Gloria Moody, an FAA spokeswoman in Anchorage. The jetliner was severely damaged, she said. None of the passengers needed to be hospitalized, she said.
