A plane had no choice but to initiate an emergency landing on Monday in Kenya. This was after a wheel of the airplane fell off while it was taking off. The Silverstone airplane started taking off at the Lodwar Airport, heading to the capital of Kenya, Nairobi.
The captain of the airplane had to initiate an emergency landing after it was noticed that the plane was missing a tyre. The airplane landed at the Eldoret International Airport, which was about 383km and 24 metres from the Lodwar Airport. The captain said in a statement that “This is precautionary action, and the aircraft landed safely.”
