AirAsia passengers feared for their lives after a recent flight suffered a technical issue.
The flight, which was headed to Kuala Lumpur from Australia, suffered some problems just one and a half hours into the journey.
It was reported the problems started after a bang heard from the left engine.
After the initial noise, passengers reported the plane started shaking violently before crew decided to turn back and land three hours after taking off.
Passengers onboard were told to pray for their lives.
Sophie Nicola, a passenger on board, told WA Today: “He [the flight captain] said ‘I hope you all say a prayer; I will be saying a prayer too and let’s hope we all get back home safely.”
Another passenger, Malik Mascarenhas told Channel Seven: “The plane was really really limping home, it was shuddering, shuddering, shuddering. We all thought, you know, we’re just going to go down.”
The flight was shaking for nearly an hour as it was like “sitting on top of a washing machine.”
The Australia Transport Safety Bureau has launched an investigation into the cause of the problem, but passengers have been left less than happy with the treatment afterwards.
Some have been offered just $ 20 to spend at the airport during the delay and two nights at a hotel but are still unsure of when they are able to fly.
Passenger Rasool Zareie told ABC: “We were standing in queues for three and a half hours. When I asked them, ‘What should we do?’, they had nothing to say.”
It comes in light of another airline that recently suffered severe problems.
