Brenton Atkinson,another passenger on board the flight said the plane started shaking as if one was sitting on top a washing machine.
''It was essentially the engine seized up i think,that's what they told us anyway.It was literally like you were sitting on top of a washing machine.
''The whole thing was going,we could see the engine out the window which was really shaking on the wing.Once we landed,we realized one of the blades had actually come off the turbine.''
