A US Airways flight from Philadelphia has skidded of the runway after aborting a takeoff

AN aircraft skidded off a runway before ending up on its nose. Do you hug a fellow passenger, make a relieved call to a relative, or perhaps, take a selfie?

YOU just had a lucky escape when your plane crash landed on the runway.

So what’s the first thing you do? Hug a fellow passenger, make a relieved call to a relative ... or perhaps, take a selfie?

We’re not kidding — that’s exactly what one woman on board a US Airways flight that was forced to abort takeoff at Philadelphia International Airport did today.

Tweeting under the name “Han Horan”, the woman posed in front of the crashed jet.

The incident happened after a nose gear collapse that forced passengers to evacuate through emergency side doors.

The downed plane and emergency crews can be seen in the background of her photo with the words “so yup”.

These are her tweets about her close call.

There were 149 passengers and five crew members on board, according to reports.

A US Airways official told CBS Philadelphia that the Airbus A320 was taking off for Fort Lauderdale, Florida when the problem occurred.

The plane did manage to get airborne, “but the captain elected to abort the takeoff for reasons unknown”.

An airport official has tweeted about the incident:

Nose gear of plane collapsed on runway. The incident is under investigation. All passengers safely evacuated. No reported injuries.
