This incident follows an earlier event in Brazil, where a group of six individuals, including a youngster and a newborn baby, safely landed after a plane experienced a sudden power loss. The deployment of an emergency parachute facilitated their secure landing.

Last month, passengers aboard an Asiana Airlines flight encountered a life-threatening situation as the emergency door of the aircraft unexpectedly opened during the aircraft's approach to a South Korean city on a Friday afternoon.
