In Australia, an incident involving an Etihad Airways plane ended slightly. The pilot canceled the take-off at Melbourne Airport at the last minute on Sunday evening (local time) due to technical problems. Then smoke rose.
Reports say the plane was flying at at least 120 miles per hour when the pilot activated the emergency brakes. Two tires were seriously damaged during the maneuver. Smoke then rose from beneath the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. “It was the scariest moment of my life,” said one passenger. “We were sure we were going to die.”
All passengers unharmed
In fact, all 289 passengers were unharmed. Photos and videos show fire trucks rushing to the plane. It was difficult to transport the machine. Until Monday morning, Melbourne Airport had to make do with just one runway. Delays were the result.

Passengers later praised the calm and level-headed behavior of the crew. The plane was scheduled to fly from Melbourne to Abu Dhabi. Etihad apologized for the inconvenience but stressed that the safety of passengers and crew is a priority.
At the end of December, an Azerbaijan Airlines passenger plane crashed in Kazakhstan, killing 38 people. Just a few days later, a plane from the budget airline Jeju Air made a fatal emergency landing in South Korea. 179 people died.
