Passengers survived the engine- troubled Qantas aircraft QF32 left Singapore's Changi Airport about five hours after the plane landed here on Thursday noon.
A Qantas plane that experienced serious engine problems over Indonesia after taking off from Singapore made a safe emergency landing at Singapore Changi airport at 11:45 a.m. local time. After five hours' waiting at the airport, passengers and crew aboard the aircraft started to leave the airport.
A officer at Changi Airport said during their stay, the passengers were briefed by the airline and the pilot about what had happened, and further arrangements were also discussed. The airport sent three buses to take them to their accommodation.
Most of the passengers looked calm when they got out of the airport. "I heard a big ban just a few minutes after the plane took off, and another ban a few minutes later. And after that the plane is circling in the air. When we landed at the airport, we found out one of the engines is broken," a passenger from the plane told Xinhua at the airport.
Qantas said there were 433 passengers and 26 crew on board and there were no injuries among the passengers even though they were scared. There have been earlier report that there had been some sort of explosion over the island of Batam, just south of Singapore, at about 9:15 a.m. local time and an Australian plane crashed at Batam. But the authority of Singapore told Xinhua that there was no plane crash and the plane landed at Singapore safely.
