TA / Taca Jet Overshoots Runway at TGU / Tegucigalpa Honduras

CNN: 7 dead after airliner overshoots Honduras runway

Seven people died and more than 80 were injured when a commercial airliner overshot the runway and traveled into an adjoining street, where it crushed three vehicles and cracked into three sections before coming to a halt a few feet from a house, officials said.
Looks like TA390 SAL-TGU, an A320 (EF says A321-200), scheduled to continue to SAP then MIA.
