Airline passenger shot in mid air

You'd think you would be safe from random gunmen when you are flying.

Not so, unfortunately.

A passenger was shot in mid-air after a bullet fired from the ground pierced through the aircraft’s fuselage, Travel Mole reported.

The Myanmar National Airlines’ passenger was rushed to a hospital after the plane touched down at Loikaw Airport in Myanmar.

MNA has now cancelled all flights at the airport.

Myanmar’s military government accused rebel groups of firing on the aircraft.

“I want to say that this kind of attack on a passenger plane is a war crime,” said Major General Zaw Min Tun.

There were 63 passengers on the ATR-72 plane from Yangon.

The male passenger was reportedly hit in the face but is expected to survive.
