Passenger Christina Kurylo hit by propeller as it pierces cabin during 'rough landing'

If you"ve never flown before, let us tell you – that"s not supposed to be there.

A propellor blade smashed through the window of a passenger plane when it crash landed at an airport.

Incredibly, nobody was seriously injured when the debris from the Air Canada jet pierced a hole in the side of the fuselage.

Christina Kurylo , whose glasses were knocked off, told CTV Edmonton: ‘All of a sudden something came crashing through my window and I got hit in the head."

She added: ‘This could have killed people. It was literally inches away from killing someone."

Her friend, Melissa Menard, added: ‘I didn"t even realise that it was actually the propeller right through the window where Christina was sitting."

The incident happened at Edmonton Airport, Alberta, Canada, on Thursday evening and an investigation into the incident has been started.

The cabin of the jet filled with smoke and passengers were evacuated from the plan with just three people injured.

Describing her injuries Christina said: ‘A couple of bumps on my head. Basically the right side of my body is bruised and bumped."

The crash was initially described as a ‘rough landing" but the extent of the incident was made clear by Christina"s picture which she posted on Facebook.
