Violent cabin shake forces emergency return on Iranian flight

Video shows a Sepehran Airlines Boeing 737 from Mashhad to Kermanshah suffering a sudden, violent cabin shake, with ceiling panels and debris falling as passengers scream. The pilot declared an emergency and the aircraft landed back at Mashhad Hashemi Nejad International Airport; no injuries were reported among the 127 passengers and crew. Investigators are looking into the incident, with reports suggesting engine damage and a tire blowout on takeoff, amid Iran’s aging aviation fleet and sanctions that affect parts and upgrades.
