Passengers aboard a plane in Somalia experienced frightening moments after a reported explosion ripped open a hole in the fuselage.
A passenger on board Daallo Airlines flight D3159 from Mogadishu to Djibouti captured the tense scene on board. One can hear the air rushing into the plane from the large hole, located near the right wing. Passengers appear anxious but remain seated, with most wearing their oxygen masks.
Forbes reported that Ibrahim Yassin, the CEO of the Somalia-based Daallo Airlines confirmed that "a bang, a sort of explosion" ripped a hole into the plane. He said the incident took place approximately 15 minutes after takeoff.
