Kamala Darji of Jhapa, who returned home from Qatar, was heading to the airport on Friday. She was excited to meet her family, relatives and loved ones after a long time. However, Buddha Air flight number 901, which took off from Kathmandu, was preparing to land at Bhadrapur Airport in Jhapa at around 9:30 pm.
However, her moment of joy turned into a moment of fear. The plane touched down on the runway and instead of landing normally, it suddenly skidded and landed in a ditch a little further away. Kamala's heart almost skipped a beat. 'My heart was full of joy, but for a moment my heart almost skipped a beat,' Kamala said emotionally, 'My heart is still beating fast.' There were 51 passengers on the plane. All the passengers managed to save their lives in their own way. Some broke the windows and got out, while others opened the emergency door. Kamala said, 'We finally got out after the plane hit the ditch.' That scene became an unforgettable experience for the passengers. The administration and police teams immediately activated at the scene. The passengers were safely evacuated. Although the incident was immediately brought under control, the passengers were in a state of both fear and relief.
Jhapa Chief District Officer Shivaram Gelal said, "Thankfully, there was no major accident." He said that the safe rescue of the passengers was a great achievement. The plane was partially damaged due to the accident.
