Tense moments for Air India passengers as first landing goes wrong

Air India flight to Visakhapatnam airport gave the passengers a fright when the aircraft failed to land in the first attempt. The mini aircraft carrying 80 passengers on board was coming from Vijayawada.

The incident took place on Thursday evening and the reason behind is the bad weather prevailing for the past few days on account of the marked depression over the Bay of Bengal.

The landing became difficult due to the adverse weather conditions and the pilot even tried to land the but the flight shook for a while when the landing gear touched the runway which resulted in the passengers getting thrown off balance.

The pilot then took off instead of attempting to land again. The second attempt was made after half an hour of flying and was successful.

The passengers who were in a panic mode was reassured by the pilot following the successful landing.
