A passenger plane flew with an engine shredded and charred by a midair explosion before it made an emergency landing in Benin, after an incident on an Arik Air Boeing 737 flight from Lagos to Port Harcourt in Nigeria on Wednesday.
Passengers filmed the view of the aircraft’s left engine destroyed during the cross-country flight. Some of the 80 passengers could be heard screaming as the plane instead made an emergency landing in neighbouring Benin, landing safely on one engine, New York Post reported.
