Shriya Saran escapes from flight collapse

Shriya Saran who is busy participating in many social awareness programmes apart from his film career. On Tuesday she was in Chennai to take part in Colgate Dental Camp, organized by Colgate Palmolive India Ltd and Indian Dental Association (IDA). She couldn’t attended the event on scheduled time and on saying about that she stated as her flight troubled and escaped narrowly from crash she couldn’t attend on time.

On sharing her scary experience, Shriya says “I had to flag off the camp at 11.30 am and so, took a flight from Mumbai. The flight took off at 6.30 am and within the next five seconds, it landed again. Then, it tried taking off again, but landed within seconds. This kept happening for some time and man, was it scary! Thank God, we were wearing our seat belts. Or else, we would have injured ourselves, what with the turbulence and all. We were all pretty shaken up. We later learnt that a bird got sucked into the plane’s engine, killing itself and the engine.”

She adds, “We are lucky this didn’t happen when we were midflight. It would have been difficult to safely land the flight.” Shriya then took another flight to Chennai and reached the venue just a little after the scheduled time. “I had a genuine reason for turning up a little late. But, I tried my best to reach as early as possible.”
