Vacationers on a flight to Fort Lauderdale acquired fairly a scare once they had been advised to placed on their life vests after a suspected mechanical challenge pressured their aircraft to return to Jamaica.
The incident occurred Sunday on Spirit Airways flight 270 from Montego Bay to Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Worldwide Airport.
A Spirit spokesperson mentioned the aircraft suffered a suspected mechanical challenge and returned to Montego Bay out of an abundance of warning.

Pilot follows protocol and they try to make it into a bad thing.
will smith 😮 lol
Fly at your on risk. Aircrafts aren't pristine when they take flight and the airlines are aware
Zsxcffvvhhh 0:19
That's a man who love his wife for real. He meant his vow for better or worse.❤
So the pilot realised that there was a problem, Informed everyone to prepare, yet made the landing. All is good everyone is safe and uninjured. Where is the trauma? Inconvenient but not traumatic, do these people get ptsd if they lose there house keys in their own house?
Sue the Airline. Spirit should not be flying ! Always had problems.
That’s so sad
You know how hard it had to be to find a gay Jamaican to interview? World is coming to an end!
So he told you the truth good
😂555
Of course Spirit Airlines vests malfunctioned smh
This is when they all become a family and we the people need to stop and Let’s unite
Remind me of derek thomas
You are NOT supposed to inflate your life vest in the plane. Doing so prevents escaping the cabin.
You are not covering the news well.
Everyone look clam tho
Instead of complaining about the voucher, be THANKFUL, that you're still alive pal. When did we as a society get so ungrateful.
I'm not defending the airline, I'm trying to get folks to keep things in perspective. Quit looking to take advantage of every negative occurrence in your life. Use it to gain a new perspective. Those folks on the Brazilian flight y'day didn't make it; you did. Be ye thankful friend.
Therapy for 200 dollars
If you die do you still get a voucher?
Spirit or not bad or cool
Ungrateful passengers….God did this for you and you do nothing…..
At least the water is pretty 😁
You are were very blessed that it was a safe landing. What are you complaining about? Did you prefer that you had a ditching situation? Flight 191 wasn't so blessed.
I MAY BE OUT OF LINE HERE, but what can you expect from a Budget Airline??????? Glory be to God for the Grace to allow them to get back to MBJ
How can you say a voucher is not enough…. your alive…..the fact that your breathing should be enough
Who tf flys Spirit?!
At 0:40 seconds: Selassie! Will Smith is in the house.
You can land in Water nothing will happen ! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 blessings
After that scare, I still can’t gather myself to fly on Spirit Airlines, especially to and from a Montego Bay.! I know that Spirit Airlines has the best reputation as far as incidents and accidents but that one right there, I just can’t.!! Give thanks they landed safely. 🙏🏼
Flying to a Red Lobster in Haiti?
You're a dumbazs decided to go on vacation to a dangerous country thinking it's all la di da with your head in the clouds and then these people get you home safely and are you mad ?
You should be mad at your own foolishness
You all should give thanks that you are all alive smh repent and turn to the Lord Jesus
Thank God.. everyone is safe.. Caribbean Airline is the safest in the world.. My husband & I always travel Caribbean Airline…
Everyone on the plane is black
Well, it was such a moving and spirited flight from Spirit. I say, Spirit delivered!
That is a good way for Spirit airlines to stop fights on the plane. Have the pilot get on the speaker and say (prepare for a mid ocean water landing. That will stop the passengers from fighting to praying.)
The plane landed safely. What more do you want? This can happen to ANY one of us. We knew the risk BEFORE we get on these types of crafts.🤨
That’s why I don’t fly spirit! Cheap isn’t always better. What happened?
Pilot said prepare for an emergency water landing that doesn’t mean for sure. I know ppl were scared and that’s why instead of saying a voucher wasn’t enough ppl should be thanking God and the pilot for a safe landing.
SPIRIT AIRLINE IS LIKE THIS BECAUSE OF DIVERSITY HIRES. YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.
More minorities trying to ride the system. Are you not ashamed?
They have been threatening Jamaicans for many decades now. Recently special interests have been poisoning food in Jamaica and releasing germs. And that is not wise as Jamaicans live in many of the top cities in the USA population wise, and travel very frequently internationally to USA, Canada, UK, and many other countries in Western Europe. So unless you want another early pandemic outbreak, I would stop releasing germs in Jamaica. Yes, they are doing this. Or else blame Jamaicans for the next pandemic outbreak like they blamed the plague on the portoguese Jews. Jamaicans are the wrong ones to mess with. Messing with one Jamaican has you people looking down the barrel of a nuclear weapon. What will messing with the entire population of Jamaicans do? You people are very hard headed and will find out. My guess is that not even Trump will save you. I'm also watching to see if you will get the Hail Mary you people have been praying for.
The scariest and most dangerous part of flying is the drive to the airport.
