Plane with Peru World Cup fans suffers engine failure in Russia, nobody hurt

A Russian passenger plane carrying Peruvian soccer fans from the World Cup city of Ekaterinburg to Tyumen in Siberia landed safely Friday after an engine fault caused the cabin to fill with smoke, Russia's air transport regulator said Saturday. Safety concerns have plagued Russia's airline industry, which has witnessed multiple fatal crashes in recent years, and the engine of a plane carrying Saudi Arabia's soccer team caught fire earlier this week. Russia's state aviation agency, Rosaviatsiya, said Saturday that a Utair plane which was carrying Peruvian fans back to Moscow via Tyumen suffered "a failure in the second turboprop engine. As a result of the abnormal engine activity, smoke from overheated oil got into the passenger cabin of the aircraft through the air-conditioning system." <br/>
