A passenger airplane with virtually 200 individuals onboard caught fireplace because it was set to depart from an airport in South Korea … and the inferno is on video.
The blaze destroyed an Air Busan airplane at Gimhae Worldwide Airport in Busan … and miraculously all 169 passengers and seven crew members escaped on the jumbo jet’s evacuation slides. Just a few people suffered minor accidents.
Dramatic video exhibits the Airbus A321 engulfed in flames on the tarmac Tuesday evening, with firefighters attempting to douse the blaze as smoke billows from the fuselage.
The fireplace reportedly began contained in the airplane, close to the tail, because the flight was making ready to take off for Hong Kong.
The incident comes simply 4 weeks after a Boeing passenger jet crashed at a special airport in South Korea … skidding off the runway and killing 179 of the 181 individuals onboard.
A touchdown gear malfunction was decided to be the trigger — the deadliest airplane crash in South Korean historical past.
