“We could see a light and we thought the plane was about to explode. People were bewildered, scared. We asked the flight attendant what was happening but she was even more scared, ” he told Peruvian news site El Comercio.
“I thought of the lost planes in Asia “ he said.
“There were children crying, people did not know what to do. At first, the pilot spoke and said it could have been a tyre that exploded,” says Sebastian. As the flames lit up the night sky, passengers held each others hands praying for a safe landing.
Emergency crew and fire engines waited on the runway as the plane circled over the city before making an emergency landing back in Bogota. Despite being seriously rattled, there were no injuries reported among its passengers.
