There were nervy moments inside an AirAsia flight to
Malaysia when pilot urged passengers to pray as the plane had a
‘washing-machine’ like shake for more than an hour.
An AirAsia X flight to Malaysia from Perth, Australia, was
forced to turn back Sunday after the twin-aisle Airbus A330-300 aircraft began
shaking due to what the airline called a “technical issue.”

While it’s not yet clear what caused the issue with the
jet’s Rolls-Royce engines, any imbalance inside a rapidly-spinning jet engine
can cause violent vibrations that are felt throughout the aircraft. Twin-engine
aircraft like the A330 are designed to fly and land safely with only one engine
operating.

Stevens said the pilot asked passengers to pray twice. And
passengers were told to hold “the brace position” for about two
minutes during the landing, he said, which was smooth.
