Passengers aboard Spirit Airlines Flight NK270 departing from Montego Bay in St James for Fort Lauderdale in the United States encountered a terrifying situation as they faced the possibility of a water landing shortly after takeoff.

Following the incident, passengers were transferred to a new aircraft and began the boarding process. The flight crew was reportedly in a state of panic, further exacerbating the nervousness among passengers. While an official report on the cause of the incident is pending, videos from the aircraft have been shared with news outlets.
