As the passengers settled into their seats and prepared for takeoff, little did they know that they were about to experience a terrifying ordeal. The Boeing 737 passenger plane was ready to depart from Jakarta Sukarno Hatta International Airport in Indonesia, but before it could even leave the ground, a shocking sight left everyone on board in a state of shock.
Fuel was pouring out of the plane's wing, creating a chaotic scene on the tarmac. The more than hundred passengers on board the 11-year-old plane, operated by Garuda Indonesia, were living through a nightmare that every flight passenger fears. It was a race against time as the ground staff quickly noticed the leak and alerted the pilot before the situation could escalate any further.
Thanks to the swift actions of the staff, the plane narrowly avoided a disaster. The pilot promptly returned to the gate, where the 135 passengers disembarked the flight GA174, which was immediately grounded. After a two-hour delay, another plane arrived to take the shaken passengers to their destination on Pekanburu-Sumatra Island.
Among the passengers was Indonesian singer and songwriter Kunto Aji, who captured the frightening moment on video. He shared his relief on X, stating that his life was saved thanks to the timely discovery of the fuel leak. The incident left him shaken, and he couldn't help but express how scary the situation was.
Following the incident, the president director of Garuda Indonesia, Irfan Setiaputra, spoke out about the airline's commitment to passenger safety. An investigation into the incident has been launched, and the circumstances will be thoroughly examined. The airline reassured the public that they take passenger safety seriously and will do everything in their power to ensure such incidents do not occur in the future.
