WATCH: Aeroplane propeller stops working mid-air
A video posted on Twitter shows the moment a plane's propeller stopped working while mid-air due to engine failure.
Well-known cricket broadcaster Neil Manthorp posted a video which showed a stationary propeller on one side of the plane that he was travelling in during an unspecified flight.
“Engine failure at 15,000 feet!” he commented. “Limped back to ORT (OR Tambo International airport) on one prop.”
