Video captures second aircraft passengers scream in horror as ceiling collapses
It’s been reported no injuries were recorded in the incident, but video from the scene shows panic among passengers shortly after take-off from Mashhad Nejad International Airport
Screams rang out from those on the flight as it shook violently after take-off
This is the horrifying moment aeroplane passengers scream in fear as their aircraft’s ceiling collapses during a malfunction.
The Sepehran Airlines reportedly suffered a mechanical failure on Tuesday (September 15) during an internal flight in Iran. The service from Mashhad Nejad International Airport (MHD) to Kermanshah International Airport (KSH) was forced to make an emergency landing back in Mashhad, reports news.com.au.
It’s been reported one of the aeroplane’s tyres could have burst shortly after take-off, but this has not been confirmed by investigators or the airline. No injuries have been reported following the scary incident.
Video from the scene shows passengers screaming in fear as the aircraft shakes violently. After a few seconds, the ceiling partially collapses, forcing some passengers to take cover.
Others then try to hold up the remains of the ceiling as the shouting then grows louder. Flight data shows shortly after taking off at 5:30pm, the Boeing 737-300 returned to Mashhad for a landing at around 5:39pm.
Passengers were forced to hold the ceiling up themselves
The Indian Express reports the passengers safely disembarked the aircraft, and were placed on an alternate flight from Mashhad, in eastern Iran, to Kermanshah in the country’s west.
No injuries or casualties have been reported. An investigation is said to have been opened by Iranian civil aviation authorities.
