During the flight of SpiceJet from Patna to Delhi, one of its engines suddenly caught fire. This horrific incident happened in the air, but the captain of the plane, Monica Khanna, saved the lives of all the passengers with her wisdom and bravery. She made an emergency landing of the plane on one engine, which landed safely. Her bravery is being appreciated all over the country.
When people saw the smoke on one side of SpiceJet flight SG-723, they were left breathless. Meanwhile, the pilot also came to know that the plane was in danger. In such a situation, the pilot very wisely turned the plane towards the Ganges River. But the situation of crash landing did not arise, and the pilot very cleverly saved the lives of 191 people.
According to sources, as soon as the cabin crew told the pilot in command, Captain Monica Khanna, about the fire, she did not panic or get scared. She directly switched off the burning engine. At that time, there were 185 passengers, including 2 children and 6 cabin crew members, on this SpiceJet flight. Landing a plane with one engine damaged by fire was a big risk in itself. But Monica Khanna did not lose her patience, and she decided to land the plane on the runway in Patna.
Before this overweight landing, the ambulance, the fire brigade, and the quick response team were deployed at Patna airport. But pilot Monica Khanna’s wisdom did not let any of this happen. What happened in the next 10 seconds was recorded in history. The plane, surrounded by smoke, had landed safely with the passengers.
