During the early morning from Sunday to Monday, the Zaragoza have witnessed a strong prolonged rumble that has aroused some of them. The sound of a plane has rumbled in certain homes as if it went a few meters above, which has caused a certain alarm and moments of humor on social networks: “Am I the only one in Saragossa What yesterday thought that the plane at midnight was put in the living room? Good walk he took … Incredible “,” What a fright gave my wife and me that we were already half soups “or” I need to see how I almost died, what scare. “
Indeed, the origin of the noise came from a commercial plane from Baku (Azerbaijan) and that was destined for the Aragonese capital. It was a Boeing 747-87UF plane that landed at 00:25 on July 28 at Zaragoza airport.
But … why was so much noise? The plane, operated by the Atlas Air company, approached the airport at an abnormally low height, 1,775 meters of altitude, which caused the noise that was heard in several neighborhoods of Zaragoza such as San José, Delicias, Miralbueno or University District. Scared by the rumble, some neighbors looked out the windows and could observe the plane.
Some flight tracking websites, such as Flight Aware, reveal that the aircraft, while approaching straight to the airport, made a turn by the city, before landing successfully. According to aerial controllers, “there was some problem in the approach.”
