An airplane was forced to make an emergency landing at Santiago International Airport after panels surrounding an engine snapped off during take-off. The Sky Airlines flight from Santiago in Chile to Copiapo, which had 137 passengers on board, returned to the airport yesterday following the incident, which was caught on camera.
A passenger sat next to the wing filmed the hair-raising moment when the left engine’s protective casing broke off with parts of it becoming detached as the plane began to climb.
