Plane crash-lands in Newfoundland with 51 people aboard, no injuries reported
STEPHENVILLE, N.L. — A man onboard a plane that made an emergency landing at an airport in western Newfoundland Thursday says passengers became nervous after they were asked to brace themselves in a crash position.
Gene Babb was a passenger on PAL Airlines Flight 1922, which crash-landed at the Stephenville airport after encountering issues with its nose landing gear.
The plane was en route from Wabush, N.L., to Deer Lake carrying 47 passengers and four crew. There were no injuries.
But in the moments before the Dash 8 aircraft touched down, Babb said there were children crying and some “nervous flyers” that were extremely concerned.
