'Fire, fire, fire!': Passengers wrote 'farewell messages' after the plane collided with birds

The Canadian low-cost airline Swoop apologized after shortly after takeoff due to a collision with birds, the engine of one of its aircraft caught fire and it made an emergency landing, which frightened many passengers. The stunning turn of events took the passengers by surprise, and some of them even wrote “farewell messages” to their relatives in case of a worse turn of events.

On the morning of September 10, a Swoop 312 flight departed from Abbotsford International Airport in British Columbia when the plane collided with several geese just a few minutes after takeoff. There were 737 passengers aboard the Boeing 176.

“When the plane rolled along the runway, we felt like we were faced with something,” passenger Fadl Abu Ghanem told CTV News.

“The next thing I remember is the flame coming out of the right engine ... I also felt very intense heat ... I looked around for the flight attendant and could not find her, so I just started shouting:“ Fire, fire, fire! The right engine, the fire, the right engine! ”Continued Abu Ghanem.

“It was very overwhelming, we didn’t expect it,” the man said. “I started texting my mom, saying, ‘Something’s wrong with the plane. I love you".

Passenger Donna-Lee Reiner also reported on Facebook that the cabin had “smoke and burning smell”, which also prompted her to “start writing farewell messages in case the phone is restored after the accident.”

Fortunately, no one was injured in this incident, and the plane returned safely and landed at the departure airport. Later, the captain and team were thanked for their calm, quick action during the chaos.

“Thanks to our captain and crew for ensuring the safety of our travelers,” an airline spokesman said on Tuesday.

The plane is now under inspection and maintenance.

Airline employees are working to coordinate new travel options for passengers affected by bird collisions and early boarding.
