Tragedy averted as Qatar Airways plane with over 100 passengers suffers burst tyre

Published by

TRAGEDY was averted at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Thursday when a Qatar Airways airline aircraft, a Boeing 767 carrying over hundred passengers suddenly had a burst tyre while attempting to initiate a takeoff on the runway of the international airport.
The aircraft was on its way to United Arab Emirates when the incident happened.
The incident happened at exactly 2.59pm after the Captain of the aircraft has gotten clearance for takeoff. The aircraft was about to gather speed for takeoff when suddenly one of the tyre burst with a loud sound.
The pilots later stopped briefly before deciding to taxi the aircraft back to the terminal where it has earlier departed
A passenger, who does not want her name in print disclosed that prayers rented the air upon hearing the loud sound as they were struck with fear saying: “we are held in fear for some time. We thank God that the plane has not gathered the full speed for takeoff, we would have been saying something else.”
As at the time of filing this report, the plane was still parked at one of the hangars at the international airport for repair and certification before it returns to the air.
