Spill threatens Estonian capital's water - Cargo plane makes emergency landing on frozen lake from Diamond Pilots by Kathryn | TALLINN, Estonia - A cargo plane made an emergency landing Thursday on the frozen surface of a lake outside Estonia's capital, spilling 1.5 tons of fuel that risked polluting the city's main source of drinking water, authorities said. The DHL-chartered Antonov AN26 turboprop was forced to belly-land on the ice of Lake Ulemiste next to Tallinn due to landing gear and engine problems, Economy Ministry spokesman Kalev Vapper said. One of the six crew members — all Polish — suffered minor injuries. The plane carried 3 tons of engine fuel and about half of it leaked onto the ice from its fuel tanks, rescue board spokesman Teet Pille said. The other half was being pumped out of the aircraft.
