China's Tibet Airlines Airbus A319 plane caught fire after an aborted takeoff in the southwestern city of Chongqing on the 12th of May, 2022.
There were no fatalities but some passengers sustained minor injuries. They suffered bruises and sprains during the evacuation and were sent to local hospitals for examination.
The pilots had interrupted the takeoff in line with procedures after experiencing an abnormality, leading to an engine scrape and fire after the plane veered off the runway.
A passenger said there was a sudden vibration and oxygen masks lowered before the plane made an unusual sound and VEERED OFF the runway.
Crew members noticed that fuel oil was leaking and started evacuating passengers down slides. Fire soon broke out, forcing some passenger to jump from the aircraft.
Unverified photos on social media show both engines separated from the airframe as well as a major crack in the rear fuselage and damage to the right wing. https://www.hindustantimes.com/
