DPRK plane makes forced landing in northeast China city
Online Edition
A flight of Air Koryo, the national flag carrier of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), on Friday made a forced landing in China's northeastern city of Shenyang after the plane caught fire, a passenger aboard told Xinhua.
The passenger said smoke appeared in the cabin about 30 minutes after takeoff from Pyongyang Sunan International Airport. The passengers were told that they should not panic and that the plane would temporarily land in Shenyang.
Later, oxygen masks dropped and several passengers began to have breathing difficulty because of the oxygen shortage in the cabin. The plane made a forced landing in Shenyang 10 minutes later.
Chinese ground staff said that the plane had caught fire. Passengers held up in Shenyang can either choose to check out from the airport or wait for Air Koryo to send another plane to pick them.
The plane was destined for Beijing.
