Flames from engine
Automatically saved draft
The passengers of a Boeing 737 experienced a moment of shock on Tuesday shortly before the jet took off from Jayapura airport in New Guinea. Flames suddenly burst out of one of the plane's engines (see video above).
The Boeing 737-500 operated by Trigana Air was due to take off from Sentani Airport, located around 23 kilometers west of Jayapura - the capital of the Indonesian province of Papua on the island of New Guinea - when flames burst out of the left engine.
Passenger opened an emergency exit
The take-off was aborted at the last moment and the passengers and crew were able to leave the Boeing aircraft via the emergency exits. A passenger opened an emergency exit "when he saw fire coming out of the engine", said an airport spokesman.
Four passengers were injured because they pushed and shoved their way out of the plane through the emergency exit. They were treated immediately at Sentani Airport's health center, according to reports.
Countless mishaps involving Boeing aircraft
The incident follows numerous other mishaps involving Boeing aircraft. The company has been in a permanent crisis since the crashes of two 737 Max jets with a total of 346 fatalities more than five years ago.
