Man SUCKED FROM PLANE After Cabin Explodes! *UPDATE story published 2/5/16 11,000 feet in the air, a gaping hole was blown in the side of a commercial plane bound for Djibouti late Tuesday. Fire erupted and smoke filled the cabin. The clothes of a male passenger caught on fire. Then the unthinkable happened. The man was sucked out of the plane through the hole created by the blast. Authorities in the Balcad region confirmed that the body of a man, believed to be about 55 years old, was recovered. He dropped when the explosion occurred in the plane, one police officer stated. The dead body of the passenger is being transported to Mogadishu. The Airbus A321 plane had originally taken off from the Mogadishu airport in Somalia. The pilot,Vladimir Vodopivec, was able to turn the plane around and make a safe landing back there after the explosion. He spoke to reporters after landing. Luckily, the flight controls were not damaged so I could return and land at the airport. Something like this has never happened in my flight career. Vodopivec also stated that authorities told him that it was most likely an explosive device that caused the incident. That matches the opinion of John Goglia, a former member of the U.S. National Transportation Safety and aviation safety expert. There are only two things that could have caused a hole in the plane that looks like the one in photos circulated online a bomb or a pressurization blowout caused by a flaw or fatigue in the planes skin. The photos appear to show black soot around the aircraft skin that is peeled back. A pressurization blowout wouldnt create soot, but a bomb would. 2 other people suffered injuries, but all the remaining 74 passengers and crew were evacuated from the aircraft upon its return. Among those on board was Awale Kullane, Somalias deputy ambassador to the U.N. Somali Aviation Authority has not yet established what caused the blast. 2016 Vianna Vaughan source: Fox News
