In the U.S., during an emergency landing of a passenger plane due to an engine failure, there was a dizzying accident where debris fell into residential areas. Fortunately, no one was injured, but the passengers and nearby residents had to wipe out their hearts of surprise.
This is reporter Kim Hye-young.
This is a U.S. United airline passenger plane that flew from Denver to Hawaii.
The engine on the right shook in jeopardy, and soon was caught in flames.
Right after taking off from Denver, Colorado, at around 1pm local time yesterday (the 20th), the engine broke down at 4500m.
The airliner returned to Denver Airport 30 minutes after take-off and made an emergency landing, but 241 passengers were left in terror until they stepped on the ground.
[브렌다/사고 여객기 탑승객 : (파편들이) 제게 날아오는 걸 똑똑히 볼 수 있었습니다. 창가에 앉은 딸이 두려워하자, 제가 밖을 보지 말고 창문 닫고 기도하자고 얘기했습니다.]
It was the same with the residents of Denver’s suburbs who were in terror at this moment.
He recalled the dizzying moment, saying that the debris of the airliner rained down from the sky.
[키어런 케인/미 콜로라도주 브룸필드 주민 : 굉음이 들려 사람들이 위를 쳐다봤습니다. (파편들이) 쏟아져 내리기 시작했습니다. 저희는 운이 좋게도 운동장 옆으로 대피했습니다.]
A massive 4.6m diameter engine debris fell, destroying a house and a truck and scattering pieces of insulation, but fortunately no injuries were found.
[레이첼/콜로라도주 브룸필드 경찰 : 아직 어떤 부상자도 보고 받지 않았다는 건 정말 놀라운 일입니다. 굉장합니다.]
