據《每日郵報》報道,5月13日下午,韓國韓亞航空一架載有222人的客機在伊斯坦堡阿塔蒂爾克國際機場滑行時,右側機翼撞上土耳其航空一架客機的尾翼,並導致尾翼斷裂,幸運的是沒有人員傷亡。
英國遊客55歲的Kaarina Barron描述了這一可怕時刻。當時,她和朋友Clare Chambers 坐在土耳其航空公司飛機的後部。她們的飛機剛停到停機坪上不到一分鐘,突然,Barron女士 聽到一聲巨響。
從視頻中可以看到,靜止飛機的尾翼被滑行飛機的機翼直接削斷了。
她說:「當巨大的噪音傳來時,飛機的引擎還在運轉。這聽起來就像是一顆炸彈爆炸了, 整個飛機似乎都在傾斜。我以為它會翻過去。它傾斜到一邊,然後就恢復了正常。在這個緊急關頭,我腦子裡都在想各種各樣的事情。我以為飛機已經爆炸了。這才是真正可怕的。有那麼 一刻,我真的以為『這就是我生命的終點』。」
Barron女士說:「儘管當時要求系安全帶的信號燈仍然亮著,還是有很多人已經站在了過 道上。每個人都摔倒了。這完全是超現實主義的,我從窗戶往外看,看到另一架飛機停在我們 後面。然後我看到了機翼被損壞了,我說,『哦,天哪,我們被另一架飛機撞了。』」
據報道,航空消防和救援人員很快趕到了撞擊現場。據土耳其客機上的乘客介紹,雖然飛機已經滿員,機上也有孩子,但並沒有人受傷。
Barron稱對此感覺非常幸運,她和朋友剛度假結束,對於這樣一個「刺激」的假期結局, 她甚至感覺有點興奮。
據了解,韓亞航空航班上的乘客隨後被安排在另一架飛機上繼續他們飛往韓國仁川的旅程。
土耳其航空公司一位發言人證實了事故並稱事故中沒有乘客和機組人員受傷,只有兩架飛機在事故中受損。
這一罕見事故也引起了網友們的熱議。
網友Larry Longlegs說:「在允許解開安全帶前,你應該一直坐在座位上,這是有原因的。」
網友Nick Rog1說:「為什麼當人們在飛機上遇到非常小的事故時,他們會立即說他們害怕失去自己的生命?」
網友dellboy62說:「看起來飛機停在了錯誤的地方。」
網友Your Australian Mate說:「我們需要聽聽另一架飛機上的故事,他們一定也被嚇壞了……」

A British tourist and mother-of-two has described the terrifying moment she thought her life was about to end when the plane she was on had its tail sliced off in a collision with another aircraft.
Kaarina Barron, 55, from Woodley, Berkshire, and her friend Clare Chambers were seated near the back of the plane when they heard an almighty bang.
The shocking crash ‘sounded like a bomb had gone off’ and took place yesterday at Attaturk Airport in Istanbul, Turkey.
It saw a Turkish Airline plane have its tail sliced off by an Asiana Airline plane, sending passengers on-board flying.
Ms Barron, who is a business development manager for Qwerty LTD, a printing company in Theale, Berks said: 『We』d just pulled into the parking bay. We hadn』t even been stationary for a minute and the engines were still going when there was this huge noise.
‘It sounded like a bomb going off and the whole plane seemed to tilt over.

The Turkish Airlines plane was parked up and had been stationary for around a minute when it was hit
『I thought it was going to turn over. It leant to one side and then it sort of righted itself. All kinds of things were going through my mind at that point. I thought the plane had blown up.
『It was really scary. For a moment I really thought 「this is it, this is the end of my life」.』
The crash occurred when an Asiana A330 sliced off the tail of a Turkish Airlines A321 on Sunday afternoon at Istanbul Atatürk Airport, in Turkey.
Upon impact, passengers on board were sent flying, with one saying that everybody was ‘falling about all over the place’
The Turkish plane suffered extensive damage to its vertical stabiliser.
『There were a lot of people standing in the aisle, despite the seatbelt sign still being on. They all went flying. Everybody was falling about all over the place. It was totally surreal,』 said Ms Barron.
『I looked out of the window and saw another plane had stopped right behind us. Then I saw the damage to its wing and I said 「oh my God, we』ve been hit by another plane」.』
Mother-of-two Kaarina Barron, a Brit tourist on board, said that she thought a bomb had gone off
She said the Aviation Fire and Rescue team were soon at the scene of the crash, dousing the rear of the plane with water.
According to Ms Barron the flight was full but nobody was hurt.
There were also children aboard the flight.
『It could have been a lot worse. We』re feeling very lucky,』 she said.

『The other plane was on its way to Seoul. Obviously everybody had to get off and that flight was cancelled.』
It is believed the passengers on the Asiana flight were then put on a different plane to complete their journey.
Ms Barron and her friend were making their way back to the UK following a girls holiday in northern Cyprus.
Despite the horrific impact, it is thought that nobody was injured in the collision between the two planes
They had just landed in Istanbul, after flying from Ercan International Airport, and were due to change flights to make their way to London.
『It was certainly an exhilarating end to our holiday. We went and ordered gin and tonics inside the airport to recover after that,』 said Ms Barron.
A spokeswoman for Turkish Airlines said: 『Turkish Airlines confirms that the Airbus A330 type aircraft of the South Korean airline, Asiana Airlines, hit the tail of Turkish Airlines’ Airbus A321 while it was taxiing on Istanbul Atatürk International Airport in yesterday.

『There were no passengers and crew injured due to the incident, it just caused physical damage on both aircrafts.』
Asiana Airlines has had two fatal accidents in the last 20 years, the last being in 2013, when three people died.
Meanwhile, Turkish Airlines, which has a higher volume of passengers, has experienced four fatal accidents within the same time frame.
