Plane Carrying Arsenal Players Catches Fire
A plane carrying the Arsenal women’s team caught fire on the runway on Sunday, Mail Sport reports.
The squad was flying back from their Champions League semi-final first leg with Wolfsburg.
The incident happened at the Braunschweig Wolfsburg Airport after a bird entered the engine shortly before the takeoff, causing a loud
bang.
Flames started coming out of the left engine of the Boeing 737 before the pilots quickly evacuated the passengers to safety.
Arsenal released a statement confirming they returned home safely this morning.
It read: “Our aircraft developed a technical issue prior to take-off in Germany on Sunday evening.
“As a result, we remained in Wolfsburg overnight on Sunday before flying back to England on Monday afternoon. We would like to thank the
staff onboard the aircraft and on the ground at the airport for their
assistance.”
The game ended 2-2.
