Most everyone here knows that about 35,000 feet is about cruising altitude for one of these jets. What caused the Air France flight AF7721 to plummet 30,000 feet? Well, ladies and gentlemen, one of the engines blew up. Not out, blew up. Passengers feared for their lives when their flight from Paris to beautiful French Holiday Island entered a nosedive and reportedly plummeted nearly 30,000 feet, according to Flight Radar 24. Wow. This happened over the weekend. Air France Flight AF7721 was traveling from Paris to Corsica when, 30 minutes into the flight, around 6 p.m., those on board heard a loud explosion. Passengers feared they would be smashed to pieces after the aircraft's engine exploded. A woman traveling with her daughter told RTL she witnessed fire on the wing of the plane, saying it was all in flames, before feeling the plane plummet and panic erupted around her. I could only imagine I've been on a similar flight, but nothing like this. Imagine all the luggage falling from the overheads while people scream at the top of their lungs. Again, I was on a flight where something similar happened, but nothing like this again. Ladies and gentlemen, somehow the pilot was able to pull this jet out of the nosedive right before they struck the ground. This is a Christmas miracle, period. The entire wing was on fire. All the lights were flashing towards the exits, but there was nowhere to go. Everyone thought they were going to crash. Everyone on that plane was saying their goodbyes. One lady was on the phone desperately trying to tell her family that she was about to die and that she loved them. I tell you what, this is a situation that no one wants to be in. The children will never forget this. Falling 30,000 feet and cruising at 35,000 feet. Actually, it says 34,000 feet is unbelievable. So, around 4,000 to 5,000 feet, the pilot was able to get control of the A320 jet seconds before impact with the ground. The entire freefall took less than 10 minutes, the longest 10 minutes of your life. According to the passengers, the captain explained that the left engine of the aircraft stopped working mid-flight. Air France referred to the incident as an engine failure. The plane was ultimately diverted to Lyon with a wing on fire. Air France stated that the decision was taken in accordance with the manufacturer's procedures, the company's instructions, and the precautionary principle. Are you kidding? Passengers were then required to take a replacement flight at 10.40 p.m., which brought them to Bastia on the northeastern coast of Corsica. From there, they took a bus to their destination. They eventually arrived at 3 a.m. in the morning. The Airbus A320 operating the flight contained two CFM-56 engines. These are the most consistent and best reliable rating engines in the business. They are the benchmark of aircraft engines. In fact, the arrival rates of around 99.96%, meaning fewer than 1 in 2,500 departures, were later canceled due to engine issues. Many CFM56-7B engines like these remain on the wing without requiring any maintenance for up to 30,000 to 40,000 hours before their first shop visits. Again, the pinnacle of engines. No one knows what quite happened at 35,000 feet. Truly beyond a miracle that the pilot was able to pull out of this nosedive. at around four to five thousand feet above the ground after falling over thirty thousand feet ladies and gentlemen after this you don't fly again period no one aboard that flight will ever forget that trip including the pilots please share our video please give us a thumbs up And always remember that anything's possible, Bizarro World.
