SEORANG penumpang pesawat US Airways yang jatuh pada Kamis mengunggah foto-foto mencekam dan rekaman video saat evakuasi pesawat yang tersungkur setelah gagal lepas landas.
Wajah Hannah Udren masih tampak tegang, video yang direkamnya tak ubahnya klip 'Blair Witch' versi Airbus A320 yang tersungkur di landasan pacu di tengah kepanikan penumpang yang berlarian keluar pesawat untuk menyelamatkan diri.
Pesawat, yang bertolak dari Philadelphia ke Fort Lauderdale, Florida, siap lepas landas di landasan pacu sekitar pukul 18:30 waktu setempat tapi batal mengudara. Roda depan pendarat patah dan hidung pesawat mencium landasan pacu. Dua dari 149 penumpang menderita luka ringan, seperti dilansir Mail Online.
Tak lama setelah kecelakaan dramatis, dramatis, nona Udren nge-tweet: "Pesawat saya barusan jatuh.. dari foto ini tampak pesawat tersungkur dan asap mengepul dari pesawat."
Terdengar jeritan para penumpang dan berupaya keluar melalui sayap pesawat dan menyelamatkan diri melalui peluncur darurat.
Suara Udren terdengar terengah-engah seraya berkata: "Saya turun dari pesawat saat gevakuasi ... Pesawat terbakar, oh Tuhan, oh Tuhan ... Pesawat saya barusan jatuh."
Asap terlihat dari salah satu mesin pesawat itu tetapi tidak jelas apakah kebakaran tersebut dimulai sebelum atau setelah gagal lepas landas.
Tidak ada penjelasan resmi penyebab kegagalan lepas landas tapi seorang penumpang memperkirakan bahwa angin kencang mungkin menjadi salah satu faktor.
Hidung pesawat mencium landasan yang menyebabkan jet tergelincir di landasan hingga ringsek.
"Saat itu angin bertiup kencang ketika pesawat lepas landas lalu tersungkur," kata seorang penumpang, Dennis Fee kepada WPVI. "Pesawat kami sempat mengudara, tapi kemudian gagal lepas landas dan tersungkur."
Tiupan angin kencang diperkirakan sebagai penyebab kecelakaan, sebelumnya ada peringatan tentang kecepatan angin 60 mil per jam.
Sebuah penyelidikan sedang berlangsung tentang penyebab kecelakaan. Penerbangan tertunda selama sekitar 90 menit setelah kecelakaan itu.

THE shaky selfie that says 'I survived!': Passenger records moment she and 148 other passengers escaped after plane's nose-gear collapsed on take-off
A passenger who was on board the U.S. Airways plane which crashed on Thursday released a terrifying series of selfies and video footage minutes after being evacuated.
Hannah Udren is seen on a grainy, 'Blair Witch'-style clip fleeing from the Airbus A320 along the runway along with dozens of screaming passengers.
The plane, which was on its way from Philadelphia to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, made it into the air around 6.30pm but the takeoff was aborted. The front landing gear collapsed and the nose was badly damaged. Two of the 149 passengers suffered minor injuries.
Shortly after the dramatic crash landing, Miss Udren tweeted: 'So my plane just crashed...' along with a picture of the plane tipped up and smoke shooting along the sides.
Passengers can be heard screaming and climbing off the plane's wings and running from the emergency slides.
She can be heard breathlessly saying: 'I'm off the plane we're evacuating the plane...The plane is on fire, oh my God, oh my God... my plane just crashed.'
Smoke can be seen coming from one of the plane's engines but it is not clear if the fire started before or after the botched takeoff.
No official cause has been given for the aborted takeoff so far but one passenger suggested that high winds may have been a factor.
The collapsed nose gear caused the jet to skid down the runway and badly damage its front end.
It was 'very windy and when the plane took off the nose of the plane went back down, hitting the runway,' passenger Dennis Fee told WPVI. 'We were airborne, then struck back down by the nose.'
A high-wind advisory was in effect for the area, warning of wind gusts up to 60 mph at the time of the accident.
An investigation was underway into the cause of the accident. Flights were delayed for around 90 minutes following the crash.
MailOnline was awaiting a comment from U.S. Airways.
