An AirAsia flight to Malaysia was forced back to Australia on Sunday due to a technical problem, with one passenger saying the plane was “shaking like a washing machine”. The Malaysian low-cost carrier said only that “flight crew are taking precautionary measures to check the aircraft”. Terrified passengers on that flight described a very loud noise soon after it left Sydney for Shanghai. The West Australian newspaper cited passengers on Sunday’s flight as saying they heard a bang and then the plane started shuddering. “It was terrifying.”Another passenger, Brenton Atkinson, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation the whole plane started shaking, far more than standard turbulence.
