Malaysia Airlines flight shakes violently, forced to land
Passengers on a Malaysia Airlines plane flying from Sydney to Kuala Lumpur which was forced to land in the central Australian city of Alice Springs said they were bracing themselves for a possible hard landing after the plane shook violently Thursday. "We suddenly experienced a very violent shaking of the aircraft and that probably lasted about 5 minutes and it was coming from one of the engines," said a passenger. The airline said the Airbus A330-300 plane experienced a "technical fault" in 1 of its 2 engines and the pilot decided to divert the flight. It said Flight 122, which had been flying close to the Western Australian state coastal town of Broome when it turned back, landed safely in Alice Springs and "safety was not at any time compromised." <br/>
