Henan Airlines flight, carrying 96 people, caught fire after overshooting the
runway at Yichun airport. Continue..
Captain
Qi Quanjun had broken rules by trying to land "when visibility at the
airport was below safety standards", state media reported, citing the

China's worst air disaster in six years, after 55 people died when a China
Eastern Airlines plane crashed in Inner Mongolia in 2004.
