Passengers told to pray as plane experiences "technical issues"

After returning from a short holiday overseas this is the last thing I want to see!

On Sunday night an AirAsia X flight to Malaysia from Perth, Australia, had to return to Perth after the aircraft began shaking due to what the airline called a "technical issue."

A spokesman for the Perth Airport said to CNN, "The pilot identified a technical issue with the engine. The plane turned around and safely landed back at Perth Airport."

According to a passenger, a loud bang was heard and the plane then shook the whole way back to Perth.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau said it had received reports of an engine shutting down mid-flight and was investigating the incident.
