Tyre Bursts In Nepal Airlines Plane While Landing

An aircraft from Nepal Airlines witnessed a mishap when one of its tyre bursted while landing on the runway of Tribhuvan International Airport in the country. The plane was carrying about 150 passengers, which included Nepal’s Foreign Minister Mr. Prakash Sharan Mahat. All the passengers, including the Foreign Minister, were reported safe with plane suffering some minor damage during the accident.

After the rear tyre of the flight from Delhi to Kathmandu got burst and the plane got jammed on the runway, the airport was closed. Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) is the only international airport in Nepal. All the flight operations came to a halt for an hour after a tyre of Nepal Airlines Corporation Airbus A320, named Lumbini, burst during landing.

Minister Mahat was returning to home-country Nepal after the completion of his 2-day official tour to India. The plane suffered few damages as the landing gear of the aircraft was separated alongside it caused some damages to the runway as well due to collision. After the incident, the plane was vacated and all the passengers onboard were shifted to the airport terminal. The airport authorities have carted the aircraft to the parking-way in order to clear the runway and make way for other flights, which were halted due to this emergency.

My need for speed began at a very early age and I realised this as soon as I got my first bicycle at the age of 8. When all the other kids would break downhill I would pedal harder just to go faster and enjoy the thrill.

Eventually I became familiar with the tools and basic technical concepts of two wheelers.Super sport and sport tourers are more of my liking and the sparks to these flames were ignited the first time I experienced the maddening power of a Yamaha YZF R1. I was just 14 years old at the time and got to ride as a pillion with an older acquaintance. This one short ride influenced my every decision in terms of the bikes I want to own. As of today I’m 26 years old and a proud owner of a Yamaha Fz15 version 2.0 and a Kawasaki Ninja 650 2014 model having clocked a decent 30k Kms only while touring, waiting to clock 1000s more as riding makes me feel whole again after enduring the dismal routines of life.
