Iranian Boeing 737 Shakes Violently as Ceiling Panels Fall and Passengers Pray
No injuries were reported after the emergency landing, and Iran’s Civil Aviation Organization is investigating the mechanical failure, The Sun reported.
- On September 15, a Sepehran Airlines Boeing 737-500 made an emergency landing at Mashhad Airport after a tyre failure forced the pilot to abort the domestic flight to Kermanshah.
- During descent, chunks of the aircraft's interior ceiling collapsed and fell onto passengers seated below as the plane violently trembled mid-flight.
- Wild footage shows passengers gripping seats while screaming; one individual was heard yelling in terror in what appears to be repeated prayers to Allah as others shielded themselves from debris.
- Despite the ordeal, all passengers and crew safely evacuated with no injuries; the Iran Civil Aviation Organization is investigating what The Sun reported as a "mechanical failure."
- This incident follows another recent problem; just weeks ago, a Sepehran nose landing gear collapsed when the aircraft veered off the runway, prompting Mashhad to temporarily shut down the runway.
