We were on the flight and there was suddenly like this jerk on the plane and then we were about to take off.
I think our wheels left the ground and then we immediately came back down.
There was fire on the engine and there was like super lots of sparks that are happening.
Immediately came to a stop.
As soon as we saw the sparks in the on the flight, smoke filled the cabin completely.
It was super hard to breathe.
And then we were sitting there where they told us to wait there like just remain seated until for like two, three minutes, maybe four minutes.
And then they opened up the exits.
Everyone all of us left down this the shoots and then we waited outside there um out on the the grass outside the runway.
Of course when you find out what happened it was pretty scary, pretty sad, you know, felt terrible for the pilot.
You know, so but we're alive.
Nothing happened to us, you know, other than a minor inconvenience.
We're alive and that's the good thing, right?
Plane was taking off.
We thought everything was smooth.
I looked to my left, looked to my right, hear a boom, look into my right the engine's on fire.
Like literally the engine's on fire.
It was like smoke's coming in the cabin and I'm just calm down, you know, I'm just like holding it down for a sec.
We slow down, you know, everyone was panicking.
I'm just trying to relax cuz you know, everyone's like screaming and people are getting up and um it was a little scary, you know.
