Security Lapse at Mumbai Airport

The illegal transportation of hydrogen spirit was uncovered before the flight departed. This chemical is extremely dangerous, as demonstrated by the fire that broke out during loading.

A Major Accident Averted

If the fire had occurred after the plane had taken off, it could have resulted in a serious accident and potentially harmed the people on board. Thankfully, no injuries were reported from this incident.
