A small Boutique Airlines airplane was taking off in Minneapolis, USA, when the emergency exit door of the plane flew off right before the plane took oof.
A lot of people, like me, get a bit scared when the airplane takes off, I mean, we are about to go thousands of feet up in the air, why wouldn’t I be scared.
Btu that was not the case with a batch of people in America.
A small group of passengers experienced something we would never want to experience.
As the plane was about to go off, the emergency exit door of the plane just blew off.
Yep, it just blew off.
A passenger named Tom Yon told WUPM about what happened during the flight.
Tom said:
We were just about to take off probably going, I don’t know 100 miles per hour, and the door just flew off, a loud bang, and the door flew off and the noise and the wind and everything. I didn’t even see my bag get sucked out of the plane. I got it right here, this bag right here, got sucked right out of the plane. They gave it to me about an hour after take-off.
Mike Parra, another passenger of the plane, said:
It happened so fast, and it was so unusual, we’re all looking at each other like ‘did that just really happen?’ Parra added that his daughter could have been injured, ‘I’m sitting there looking at my daughter hanging out this door. Except for the safety strap, she would’ve been on the floor.
Luckily, no one was injured in the entire incident.
The Metropolitan Airports Commission officials have launched an investigation about the incident.
After an assessment, they confirmed that the flight never took off and returned to its gate at the Minneapolis Saint Paul International Airport.
The bag of Yon, which felt out, was returned to him and the door of the flight was recovered by the authorities.
After the incident, the 2 pilots of the pilot were fired as they had failed to complete a pre-flight checklist.
Not only that, but the company later announced that they are going to remove their services that are in tie with the Gogebic-Iron County Airport.
No reason was given out by the company.
