Sorry that’s in french.
The flight DT620 of TAAG Angola Airlines, arriving from Luanda (Angola) went of the runway while landing at CDG. Noone was injured.
However the situation is quite messy at CDG right now. Heavy delays are expected due to the closure of one of the runways.
According to CDG website it’s a 743 combo.

Sortie de piste d’un Boeing angolais à Roissy: le trafic aérien perturbé
PARIS (AP) – Un Boeing angolais a effectué une sortie de piste lors de son atterrissage à Roissy-Charles de Gaulle, jeudi à 6h32, ce qui a entraîné la fermeture d’une des pistes sud de l’aéroport et des retards, a-t-on appris auprès d’Aéroports de Paris (ADP).
Cet incident n’a fait aucun blessé. Les 139 passagers du vol DT620, de la TAAG Angola Airlines, en provenance de Luanda (Angola), ont pu quitter l’appareil. Ils ont été “évacués dans le calme en présence des pompiers et du service médical d’urgence d’Aéroports de Paris”, selon un communiqué d’ADP.
La fermeture d’une des quatre pistes de l’aéroport, mais aussi la météo brumeuse, ont occasionné des retards, d’une heure en moyenne sur l’ensemble des vols, d’une heure et demie pour les avions au décollage.
Les passagers du Boeing angolais ont été pris en charge par ADP et “accueillis dans un restaurant de la plateforme”.
Aéroports de Paris recommande à tous les voyageurs devant prendre l’avion ce jeudi à Roissy-Charles de Gaulle de “se renseigner auprès de leur compagnie aérienne afin de bien vérifier l’heure de départ de leur vol”, ce qui leur permettra d’attendre le moins possible sur place. AP

I’m glad everyone’s OK, and no sarcasm intended, but can’t CDG manage with 3 runways. Frankfurt does!
You’re right , It sounds like a mystery to me as well !!!
