A Ryanair flight had to make an emergency landing shortly after take off at Dublin airport today.

The flight, from Dublin to London, was forced to land at around 11.40am this morning and oxygen masks were dropped into the cabin.

The incident happened when the plane's tailskid touched the runway during the take off.

The plane was carrying 148 passengers at the time and no-one was injured.


As currently posted on the website of another newspaper. I see no mention of a RYR spokesperson there at all. Perhaps they are changing their story? Once again journalists haven't been known to sensationalise a story now have they?

Was I there no. Would I have followed the QRH checks yes. To quote from the QRH "do not pressurise the aircraft as structual damage may have occurred". So how can you have a depressurisation if the aircraft was never pressurised?

How about we let the facts come out? So far it looks like a tail strike with a return, nothing more nothing less. How about we avoid the sensationilst news reporting so loved by the media today?
