British Airways blamed poor lighting at Miami airport for a safety scare involving a jumbo jet carrying Prime Minister Tony Blair and his family, according to Reuters. There were 343 passengers and crew aboard the Boeing 747 which missed a runway exit on arrival from London about 6:15 p.m. (2315 GMT) on Tuesday, prompting police cars and emergency vehicles to rush to the scene. "The plane overshot the runway by a little bit. There was no damage to the plane and no injuries to the passengers," Miami airport spokesman Marc Henderson said. "The plane did not go into the grass but they were off the end of the runway." A spokesman for Blair said: "There was a minor incident. The prime minister is absolutely fine. They are getting on with their holiday now."
