Airplane carrying Polish MPs experienced emergency procedure

The government plane carrying Polish MPs, including Sejm speaker Radosław Sikorski and his deputy Jerzy Wenderlich, had to cancel its take off due to technical malfunction. The MPs were meant to fly to the Czech Republic to sit a joint assembly with their Czech counterparts. The plane had already accelerated for takeoff, but suddenly slowed down and returned to the terminal at the military airport in Warsaw. “It was quite unnerving. I have experienced many dangerous situations while traveling throughout my career, but this looked pretty serious. It seemed to us that the plane propelled itself to very high speeds, and even took to the air a little bit. Suddenly the pilot decided to stop the plane, and immediately after we touched the ground and [experienced] frighteningly violent braking,” Jerzy Wenderlich told private broadcaster TVN24. No one was hurt in the incident.
