A major disaster was narrowly averted at Sekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Indonesia, after a Batik Air Boeing 737 lost control while landing due to severe weather conditions. The video that has gone viral on social media looks scary. The aircraft skidded on the runway but was brought under control just in time by the pilot, preventing what could have been a tragic accident. People present at the airport captured the incident and shared the video on social media platforms. The incident reminded everyone of the recent Ahmedabad plane crash involving Air India’s Boeing-737 that claimed 242 lives.
The Plane Tilted To One Side, Video Goes Viral
According to the reports, the flight shuddered on the runway due to bad weather. Heavy rain and strong winds forced the plane to tilt on one side, appearing as it was out of control. Moreover, one wing of the plane almost collided with the runway. The Flight PK-LDJ was operated by the Batik Airlines.
The airline’s Corporate Communications Strategic Officer Danang Mandala Prihantoro confirmed the incident and said that the airline’s Boeing-737 aircraft landed at the airport amid heavy rain, but a strong gust of wind on the runway blew the plane. The plane tilted to the right side, but the pilot luckily controlled the plan and made a safe landing. A team of engineers checked the plane, but there was no damage to the plane. Prihantoro added that the Batik Airlines is committed to the safety of passengers and the plane can be used again.
The video has been shared by the user named @velljet.vjt on Instagram and is widely circulated on X as well.
