Another air tragedy averted: Chhattisgarh governor, 130 passengers escape unhurt
Raipur: Thursday was a day of air emergencies as three major tragedies were averted in various parts of the country. While a mid-air collision was reportedly averted over Patna, an Air India Mumbai-Bhopal flight landed at Bhopal’s Raja Bhoj Airport with jammed wheels. Raipur’s Mana airport also witnessed an emergency situation with Jet Lite’s Delhi-Raipur-Delhi flight developing some technical fault.
Nearly 130 passengers, including Chhatisgarh governor Shekhar Dutt Tiwary and several IAS and VIPs, had a narrow escape when the aircraft was stopped abruptly in the middle of the runway a few seconds before take off. Pilots aborted the take off following a technical snag.
Frantic passengers were de-boarded of the aircraft soon after it stopped while CISF men and fire tenders surrounded the troubled aircraft to handle any emergency.
Governor Tiwary was escorted back to the VIP lounge by his special guards.
Jet airways officials face passenger’s fury
Hours after the incident, the airline management failed to give assured answer to the passengers as to when the flight will actually take off. Finally, the flight was cancelled later in the evening following increasing passenger’s fury. The passengers were accommodated in Jet’s flight later to Delhi in the evening.
