Some of the 168 people on board the Boeing 737-800 described it as a "miracle" that everyone was evacuated safely from the plane, which went off a runway at Trabzon Airport.

Passenger Yuksel Gordu told Turkey's official Anadolu news agency that words weren't enough to describe the fear on the aircraft.
乘客 Yuksel Gordu 告诉土耳其官方的阿纳多卢通讯社说，语言不足以描述在飞机上所感受到的恐惧。

Another passenger, Fatma Gordu, told private Dogan news agency that there was a loud sound after landing.
