An AirAsia X flight to Malaysia from Perth, Australia, was forced to turn back Sunday after the A330 aircraft began shaking due to what the airline called a "technical issue." CNN's Dave Briggs reports.

If the pilot asks passengers to pray you know it's a bad issue

When the plane landed I would become a permanent resident of Australia

OMG imagine your pilot telling you he’s scared

[nothankyouthanksforasking]

"Our survival depends on your cooperation" coming from a pilot is about as reassuring as firefighter in a burning house handing me a bucket of water. You were trained for this, I'm just sitting in this death trap and try not to shit myself.

Airline : "Do not panic"
Pilot : *"PRAY OR WE GONNA DIE"*

[BVDTheBigVOLdaddy]

things you DO NOT want to hear your pilot on an air plane say " im scared" and " you should pray"

[peterthompsoncomedy]

Never heard of a flight where my survival depended on my cooperation…

No pilot should ever say something like that, it causes a mass panic situation. The pilot was way out of line and just plain stupid.

Nothing instills confidence and reassurance like a pilot telling you to pray.

I dont know why ppl are blaming the pilot. He saved all his passengers

[shewins]

It’s is human nature and understandable for the pilot to have been scared, yet TELLING the passengers is unprofessional and brings no comfort to all those who have all of their trust and faith in him.

The flight was so scary even the plane started shivering.

[sugarandspice]

When the pilot is scared, you KNOW you're in trouble. I can't imagine the fear in the passengers.

How unprofessional is it to tell you passengers that their survival depends on THEIR OWN cooperation?
These people can't do sht about it, the least you can do is not telling them they are at a high risk of crashing.
People who could've just had some weird feelings about boarding planes, now are scared for life of boarding a plane again.

[TheNightshotBR]

When the captain asks you to pray... boy, you better pray.

[sync]

a pilot should never, ever, EVER do this on a plane. they should keep the cabin calm instead of accepting their fate

[sinead]

The fact that they went back on another plane, THAT DAY!!!!

Oh God imagine the pilot telling you he’s scared and that your life depends upon your cooperation?! Holy shit! 😱😱😱
