A Boeing 757 forced to land in an emergency in Italy after the appearance of flames on one of the engines: News

On Saturday August 16, a Boeing 757 of the German company Condor which transported 273 passengers from Corfu to Düsseldorf was forced to land urgently in southern Italy after the appearance of flames on one of the engines, as Bild reports.

They thought it was over. This Saturday, August 16, 273 passengers and the 8 crew members of a Boeing 757 from the German company Condor, connecting Corfu to Düsseldorf, had the fear of their lives. The flight had to land urgently after the appearance of flames on one of the engines of the aircraft, according to the German daily Bild. “It was a horrible experience. I had sent farewell sms because I thought it was over,” said a passenger of the flight. “We were already in flight, and then we heard a very strong snap noise,” said another traveler. Despite impressive images, “the passengers remained calm,” said an eyewitness. “The pilot kept us informed all the time.”

The device has logically been confused in order to be able to land in Brindisi as soon as possible. No one injured is to be deplored. An investigation was opened to determine the origins of this incident.

One night at the airport

According to a spokesperson for Condor, there was no engine fire. “It was a chemical reaction in the engine, which normally occurred in the combustion chamber, but in this case, due to the disruption of the air flow, it was noticeable outside,” she told the German press. However, it was “reading an extraordinary parameter” that forced the device to land in an emergency.

The passengers had to spend an additional night in Italy and some had to sleep at the airport. “After landing, customers gradually left the plane. Unfortunately, there was not enough hotel capacity available on site,” said the airline. The next day, the majority was able to reach Düsseldorf thanks to another flight, but some, still shocked by the event, decided to rally the German city by road.
