All 160 passengers and
crew members aboard a Tianjin Airlines flight are safe after the plane
was turned back around to Qingdao on Friday due to engine problems,
which a passenger had complained about but was ignored by crew members.
The
passenger, Zhang Qiuyue, said that the Wehzhou-bound Airbus A320G,
which had a stopover in Qingdao after departing Tianjian that morning,
should have been examined before taking off again.
During the
first flight, she told a stewardess that she heard strange noises,
smelled a strange odor and felt something shaking from her seat, but
Zhang was told that everything was fine. Zhang reported to several other
cabin crew members after the flight landed yet none of them listened
either.
Some 25 minutes into the Qingdao-Wenzhou flight, crew
members noticed an engine problem - other passengers also reported smoke
coming from the engine with a strong burning smell - and the plane was
immediately reverted back to Qingdao.
