A video has emerged showing the terrifying moment an AirAsia
flight with 359 people on board started to shake violently. Flight D7237
departed Perth Airport shortly before 7am on Sunday on its way to Malaysia
but was forced to turn back due to 'technical issues' less than two hours
into the trip.
Passengers on the flight reportedly heard a loud bang before
the plane started to tremble.
The AirAsia captain can be heard asking passengers to stay
vigilant. 'Please pay attention and also please listen to everything, our
survival depends on your cooperation,' he said.
Passenger Brenton Atkinson told ABC News the
plane had been shaking 'pretty bad' when the plane decided to turn back 'about
an hour and a half' into the journey. 'It was essentially the engine
seized up I think, that's what they told us anyway,' the 24-year-old
said.
Passenger Saya Mae shared a video of the shaky footage to
Instagram and captioned it: 'I thought I might die'.
