18 hurt fleeing Ryanair plane in Majorca after false fire alarm

Eighteen people were lightly injured after they fled from a Ryanair plane at Majorca Airport during a false fire alarm, local emergency services say.

Footage shows passengers fleeing the plane when a fire alarm was activated just after midnight.

Ryanair says that when passengers used inflatable slides to return to the terminal, some suffered minor injuries, such as ankle sprains.

The airline says a replacement aircraft was arranged to take the passengers later in the morning to Manchester.

Among those injured, six were hospitalized.

Ryanair 737-800 evacuated at Palma de Mallorca Airport after a fire indication developed on board during taxi.

The SAMU061 coordination center received a call at a.m, reporting a fire on flight RK3446 to Manchester.
