Air Nauru flight lights up the sky over Brisbane

AIR NAURU B737-36N VH-PNI (MSN 28555)


This story happened here in our very own back yard. It was around 6.30 pm tonight we heard some continuous banging noises like fire works going off. We went outside to the side of the house to where the noise was coming from but once outside the noise seemed to be coming from a different area. We didn't think much of it and went back inside. It was only a few hours later I discovered an Air Nauru Airlines (flight ON1), a Boeing 737-300, travelling from Nauru International Airport (INU/ANYN) to Brisbane International Airport, (BNE/YBBN) suffered a compressor stall on one of the two engines while on approach to Brisbane Airport. Apparently flames were visible during the event. The banging noise we heard would have been the aircraft as they fly around our home on their way into Brisbane.

The 48 passengers on board the Nauru Airlines flight walked off the plane unharmed after it landed safely. Footage taken from inside the plane through a cabin window showed the fireballs coming out of the engine and witness reports state the aircraft made loud banging noises.
