PerthNow reported that two people from the flight were taken to the hospital with minor injuries and one woman "had to have her eyes flushed to remove the fuel."
Ross Jenkins, a passenger on the evacuated plane, told PerthNowthat while he saw no smoke onboard he smelled a kerosene-like substance. "We landed right at the tail end of the airport which I thought was unusual,” he said, and explained that he heard the captain yell, "evacuate, evacuate, evacuate."
