Authorities in South Korea said Wednesday that seven individuals were injured, mainly in minor ways, in Tuesday’s aeroplane fire. According to local media, the fire might have been started by a portable battery that was kept in the overhead bin.
According to the nation’s transport ministry, the Airbus A321, which was scheduled to depart from Gimhae International Airport in southeast Busan for Hong Kong, caught fire in the back area on Tuesday night. According to the report, 169 passengers and seven employees and flight attendants were evacuated via inflatable slides.
It stated that although the accident caused over half of the fuselage to burn, the wings and engines on both sides of the aircraft were unharmed, and that the cause of the fire is still being looked into. According to the ministry spokeswoman, “it is unclear when we will be able to disclose the investigation findings on the cause of last night’s fire, AFP reported.
The jet was enveloped in flames, and heavy smoke appeared to billow from the plane’s cabin in dramatic photos and videos captured by local media on Tuesday night. The upper half of the fuselage was burned away, leaving a massive hole, according to images taken Wednesday morning.
