11 injured evacuating Cathay Pacific jet after aborted takeoff in Hong Kong due to technical issue

Описание: Eleven people were injured on Cathay Pacific's flight CX880 at Hong Kong's international airport early on Saturday (June 24) after the carrier aborted takeoff due to a technical issue, Cathay said in a statement.

The flight from Hong Kong to Los Angeles was carrying 17 crew and 293 passengers. It performed "an aborted takeoff in accordance with standard procedures after a technical issue was detected by the crew."

Footage carried by local broadcaster TVB showed several injured passengers being taken to a local airport hospital. An unnamed passenger told TVB that the plane suddenly braked, plunging the passengers into panic.

The injuries occurred during a precautionary evacuation back at the gate, when passengers exited the aircraft using five door escape slides, according to Cathay, who also said it sincerely apologised for the disruption to customers.
