Flight journeys can be great provided no mishap is reported. Recently, a scary video of an aircraft on blaze has been doing rounds on the internet. The video also features several passengers running away from the place to safety. According to a report, the incident took place at an airport in Turkey.
The terrifying video shows passengers screaming in disbelief and running away from the Russia-made Sukhoi Superjet passenger plane. The flight with as many as 89 passengers and six crew members caught fire in an unfortunate incident. It apparently made a hard landing and this damaged one of the engines of the aircraft.

As could be seen in the video, the flames have engulfed the plane and frightened passengers go haywire trying to flee the runway. The footage seems to have been recorded by one of the passengers who stood at a distance to get the full view of the burning aircraft at Antalya Airport.
In another clip, passengers are seen carrying their hand luggage along as they move to safety. Social media users point out that such moves during an emergency could be risky.
One of them said, “Pax with hand luggage.” Another wrote, “And they all took their hand luggage with them. This is ridiculous.” Someone else noted, “Anyone who takes their hand luggage with them in an emergency evacuation should be banned from flying for life.” “In case of an evacuation you should leave your bags behind!!!!!!!! Oh lord, after I saw the passengers rolling their bags, I will not think about the chaos in the plane. This behavior kills people!” another comment read.

However, no injuries were reported and all passengers could escape from the accident spot. “All passengers were evacuated without injury, and thankfully, no one was harmed,” Antalya Governor’s Office Deputy Suat Seyitoglu told Turkiye Today.
