Lonnie Lane said he noticed something was wrong after takeoff.

“I’m sitting on the wing seat of the airplane
and just looked out right to my right
and this thing is gushing gas out of the wing like a fire hydrant,” Lane said.

Viewer video from the ground given to Channel 9 shows fuel spewing from the side of the plane.

“I’m no expert on this but I was like, somethings not right here,” Lane said. :wink:

Other passengers on the flight were a little more concerned.
