A man hid inside the cargo hold of a SpiceJet aircraft jumps out of the cargo hold just before the departure. The Air Traffic Controller of Goa Airport instructed the pilots to abort take off as this it would have been a great disaster to fly with an open cargo door.
This incident happened when a SpiceJet Boeing 737 was about to takeoff from Goa for its return flight to Bengaluru. When the aircraft lined up on the active runway for takeoff the Air Traffic Controllers saw someone jumping out of the cargo door of the aircraft. They immediately informed the security personnel who are now interrogating with that guy as per the words given by DGCA.
The ATC recalled the aircraft to the terminal. "If a plane takes off with an open cargo hold door, the consequences can be serious. If the front door is open, it will fly off and damage the wing and engine. If it is the rear door, it will hit the fuselage. The structural integrity of the aircraft will be impacted either way. Also the rear cargo section is pressurised for carrying livestock like pets and an open door can lead to pressurisation failure," said a senior pilot.
