"We suspected it was a metal scraping sound coming from the engine. It made us panic," Yusran said.
On hearing the noise, Pilot Anjar Setiaji aborted the takeoff and parked the plane for 20 minutes before making a second attempt to take off.
The plane remained for a further 10 minutes on the runway before finally taking off safely. The plane transited at an airport in Balikpapan, East Kalimantan. (anb)
