Raipur: Thursday was a day of air emergencies as three major tragedies were averted in various parts of the country. While a mid-air collision was reportedly averted over Patna, an Air India Mumbai-Bhopal flight landed at Bhopal’s Raja Bhoj Airport with jammed wheels. Raipur’s Mana airport also witnessed an emergency situation with Jet Lite’s Delhi-Raipur-Delhi flight developing some technical fault.
Nearly 130 passengers, including Chhatisgarh governor Shekhar Dutt Tiwary and several IAS and VIPs, had a narrow escape when the aircraft was stopped abruptly in the middle of the runway a few seconds before take off. Pilots aborted the take off following a technical snag.
Frantic passengers were de-boarded of the aircraft soon after it stopped while CISF men and fire tenders surrounded the troubled aircraft to handle any emergency.
