Heavy winds forced the plane to slam into the tarmac
This is moment a plane carrying 90 people is slams into the runway after heavy winds caused the engine to fail.
The Scandinavian Airlines flight was attempting to land in Madeira, Portugal when a strong downdraft forced it into the tarmac on Saturday.
It bounced off the runway, sending sparks flying and causing the flames to erupt from the left engine.
The Airbus A320 was sent back into the air, where it was told to wait for 20 minutes before attempting to land again.
But the pilot, noticing one of the engine was emitting fumes, headed for Las Palmas airport on canary Islands so engine maintenance and safety checks could be carried out.
All 90 passengers disembarked without any injury, the Aviation Herald reports.
The Scandinavian Airlines flight SK2901 left Stockholm for Funchal on the island of Madeira before the incident.
It came just one day after a window on an Alaska Airlines flight blew out 16,000 ft in the air.
The flight had to make an emergency landing shortly after take-off from Portland, Oregon, on Friday.
A video on TikTok also shows passengers wearing oxygen masks.
The creator, Vy, wrote: ‘The kid behind me just told us that his friend and mum were in that aisle and his mum had to drag him back in.’
US officials have since ordered the grounding of 171 Boeing 737 Max 9 jets.
Boeing said in a statement: ‘Safety is our top priority and we deeply regret the impact this event has had on our customers and their passengers.’
