According to reports, there were two people aboard the faulty plane, both of whom suffered grave injuries.
"They were laying on the ground, clearly, covered in blood, but they were speaking to us," claimed the witness. "We thought that we were going to witness people just burning to death ... it was the most frightening thing I have ever seen."
