Flames shoot from Boeing jet engine before take-off, forcing passengers to jump from emergency exits
2024-11-08
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] This is the moment terrified passengers were forced to leap out of a plane's emergency exit after flames began to shoot out from the Boeing jet's engine moments before takeoff.

The Boeing 737-500 aircraft, bound for the town of Wamena, caught fire at Sentani Airport in Jayapura, Papua Province, Indonesia on Tuesday, forcing its 121 passengers to evacuate.

Horrifying footage shows how smoke billowed out from the aircraft's engine, while another clip captured the moment petrified passengers had to stand on the wing of the plane as they awaited their turn to get off.

#7  NOT Indonesia

This is OCCUPIED West Papua

Their Independence Day is 1 December

These are Christian Melanesians given their own country back when the Dutch colonists left in 1962

Indonesian Muslims then invaded

You want a genocide? Since 1964 They moved in more than a million Indonesians colonists mostly Malay Muslims from Java with Trransmigrassi, outnumbering the locals

America turned a blind eye because Henry Kissinger smelt money. Freeport McMoRan and the Indonesian military split the booty from the world’s BIGGEST goldmine and Kissinger sat on the board of freeport. Yet another war crime to add to his soros-backed behind


This is stolen land

The Muslims steal the children of papuans and send them to Madrassad in Indonesia so as to islamise them to ruin their call for independence

They lock people in prison 25 years for flying their Morningstar flag

They gave aids infected prostitutes to tribal chiefs, and pigs infected with cysticercosis in return for logging rights

They dropped napalm on villagers in the baliem valley

They are smashing the forests of the highlands with a madsive access road so they can kill off the last of the resistance in the remote highlands

This is a real genocide by muslims against christians

They routinely torture and murder the papuans and upload their videos to socials

West Papua is NOT Indonesia

#2  Boeing has nothing to do with the engines. All engines are leased from the engine manufacturer or a holding company.

OK! A few passengers are short of even Stupid rating.

Open the Emergency Exit over the wing, climb out on the very engine wing that was shooting flames and stand there, 12ft off the ground and nowhere to go.
