He returned from the brink of disaster on the plane.

Great panic was registered yesterday in the passenger plane of the Air India company, which was heading from India to the US.

The plane, which was flying from New Delhi to San Francisco with 216 passengers and 16 crew members, survived a major midair hazard when one of its engines failed.

The plane made an emergency landing at Magadan airport in eastern Russia. The evacuated passengers were accommodated in dormitories and hotels in the region. Air India has announced that it will send a new plane to Russia to transport passengers stranded in the region to the United States.

Vedant Patel, a spokesman for the US State Department, said they are closely monitoring the situation.

Recently, mid-air technical failures on Indian aircraft are causing concern. On Sunday, an IndiGo airline plane returned to Guwahati, where it took off due to engine failure.
