Un avion prend feu en plein vol au-dessus de l’Italie : Panique à bord

While flying over Italy last Saturday, a Condor Airbus A320 caught fire. The panic of the passengers on board contrasted with the calm of the pilots, who were able to make an emergency landing at Brindisi airport.

In reality, it was the plane's right engine that caught fire shortly after takeoff from Corfu, Greece.

"Suddenly, we heard a loud noise, then flames shot out of the engine," a passenger told Bild. The explosions continued, creating panic on board.

“I sent goodbye messages because I thought it was over.”

"It was a terrible experience. I sent goodbye messages because I thought it was over," said a woman who was with her daughter, both sitting near the reactors.

According to an official statement from the German airline, the fire was caused by combustion outside the engine.

Air traffic in Brindisi was suspended for about half an hour while firefighters worked on the runway. The 273 passengers on the flight were scheduled to land in Düsseldorf on Saturday evening. They had to return to the German city on another plane the next day.

    Skyway to Hell Boeing plane makes emergency landing after engine bursts into flames: ‘I already sent goodbye texts’
    “It was an incredibly horrible experience. I already sent goodbye texts because I thought, ‘It’s over now,'” said one terrified passenger.
    A Condor Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in Italy after the plane’s engine burst into flames shortly after takeoff — prompting one terrified passenger to send out “goodbye texts” to loved ones.

    The Boeing 757 carrying 273 passengers and eight crew members from Corfu, Greece, to Düsseldorf, Germany, experienced a turbine airflow disruption at an altitude of approximately 36,000 feet during the flight Saturday, per WDR.
    Terrified passengers aboard Flight DE 3665 began to notice flames spitting from the right wing of the plane just after 8 p.m. local time, Bild reported.
