Passengers aboard an Alaska Airlines flight bound for California received the scare of a lifetime when their plane began shaking, sparking and smoking during a rough landing.
Video from inside Flight 1288 shows the moment the plane, which departed from Seattle, was landing at John Wayne Airport on Sunday, much to the excitement of 16-year-old passenger Abhi Amineni, who was filming the scene.
The teen’s fascination, however, quickly turned to terror when the plane hit the ground with a sudden jolt, with passengers heard screaming and cursing at the rough landing.
When the teen’s camera refocuses to the view outside the window, sparks could be seen flying up as the tip of the wing fit the ground, followed by thick smoke as the plane’s landing gear failed.
Fortunately, no one was injured as a result of the incident, and all passengers were escorted off the plane by Orange County firefighters.
