| QANTAS BOEING 737-838 VH-VZO (MSN 34191) |
The aircraft was due to depart Cairns at 13.05 (local) but didn't push back until 14.13.
The aircraft then taxied out for runway 15 and got airborne at 14.18.
15 minutes into the flight the pilots leveled off at 190 and began the first of four 10-minute holding patterns before returning to Cairns, where it landed once again on runway 15, one hour fifteen minutes after departure at 15.33.
Passengers have reported they heard a very loud bang and then the plane shook violently.
The captain came on the intercom and reported the right engine has been shut down and that they will be returning to Cairns.
Two videos have emerged of the landing, taken from the ground and inside the cabin.
In a video taken from the ground, witness Matthew Perrin films and can be heard stating that the plane’s right engine had “shut down”.
“A bit of excitement at Cairns,” he says as the plane can be seen landing in the distance.
In a second video, taken from inside the cabin, there is near silence inside the still moving plane as the person filming points the camera at the window.
The plane jostles as it lands, coming to a standstill as the passengers erupt into applause.
