A double-decker airline caught fire at Birmingham Airport on Tuesday, prompting a large-scale emergency response as passengers waited for help on board
.
Birmingham resident Dr Gurraj Singh said the landing felt like a "near-miss." Passengers were not allowed to leave the plane for more than an hour while safety checks were carried out. "The pilot told us the engines had been switched off, that he was going to restart the engine, and await clearance from BHX authorities. They disembarked us from the physical ladders, when we got off the plane the ground crew looked a bit stressed themselves and anxious so I presume it was something major."
