Jeju Air Plane Briefly Off Course in Vietnam, No Injuries
Imagine a plane trying to land in Vietnam.
This plane, from Jeju Air, went a little off track during landing, but thankfully, it quickly got back on course.
There were 183 people on the plane, but nobody was hurt.
The tires on the landing gear got damaged.
The airline sent another plane to take everyone back.
This happened not long after another Jeju Air plane had a very serious crash in South Korea, so officials are trying to figure out what caused this latest incident to make sure everything is safe.
Jeju Air flight from Incheon briefly went off course while landing in Da Nang, Vietnam.
The incident occurred on Tuesday with 183 passengers on board; no injuries were reported.
Landing gear tires were damaged, and a replacement plane was deployed.
