Thankfully there were security mechanisms in place that were able to stop this incident from escalating into an accident where someone was injured. The pilot involved in this incident used caution to get everyone on the ground safely. If you have been involved in a plane incident in which the situation escalated and people were injured, you may wish to speak with a personal injury lawyer.
