Srinagar: Around 200 passengers and crew onboard a Srinagar -bound Jet Airways flight had a narrow escape Wednesday when the pilot detected a crack in the cockpit windscreen mid-flight, reports and witnesses said.
Reports said that windscreen of New Delhi-Srinagar Jet Airways flight 9W-603 developed a crack mid air sometime before it was scheduled to land at Srinagar airport at 2 PM.
“Air entered plane through cockpit. It was a panicky situation for the passengers had they come to know. But it was not much cause of concern for pilots as plane was about to land,” an official said on the condition of anonymity adding that situation could have worsened if plane would have been at a much more height.
