BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) – A rough landing for passengers flying in from Washington Dulles Airport into Buffalo Sunday night after their United Express plane went off the runway.

United Air Flight 3796 arrived at 11:39 p.m. according to Flight Aware.

The plane, N514MJ, is registered to Mesa Airlines but flies under the United Express banner under a code sharing agreement.

NFTA spokesperson Doug Hartmayer tells 7 Eyewitness News, the plane skidded at the Northwest end of the airport and came to rest at what’s known as a “safety area” – that’s 300 to 400 feet of grass at the end of the alternate runway.

At least seven people were injured and more than 20 arrested in Kiev as scuffles broke out between members of a rare Ukrainian gay pride march and their nationalist opponents.

The socially-conservative country, which is locked in a war with pro-Russian insurgents, is seeking a closer alliance with Europe and remains keen to promote civil liberties freely enjoyed in much of the West.

The March of Equality parade staged at a scenic stretch of the Dniepr River on the northern outskirts of Kiev was scheduled to last only ten minutes out of security concerns.

TORONTO – Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced broad new measures to expand the collection of fingerprints and digital photos of foreign travellers as they enter Canada.

Harper said Thursday the measure will help improve security and is intended to combat the threat of global terrorism. The government will spend $312 million over five years on the plan which will see travellers from every country that requires a visa, except the United States, to submit the so-called “biometric information”.

“We’ll make sure people are who they say they are,” Harper said to a crowd of several hundred people packed into a North York hotel ballroom. “(We’ll) make sure the person who arrives in Canada is the same person who applied for the visa overseas. You can fake your name, you can fake your documents but you cannot fake your fingerprints.”

Canada already collects biometric information from travellers from 29 countries. This initiative will see that expand to 150 by 2018-2019.

The government will also commit more funding to the Canada Security Intelligence Service and tCanada Revenue Agency. CSIS will see its frontline counter-terrorism efforts beefed up with the investment. The CRA funding will focus on preventing Canadian charities from funding terrorism abroad, he said.

“Our government recognizes the terrorist arsenal includes more than guns, knives and bombs,” Harper said. “To radicalize and equip collaborators here at home or to finance malevolent actors in other parts of the world, terrorists need cash.”
