"The flight's 415 passengers had to choice but to disembark the aircraft. Philippines Airlines accommodated them at a local hotel while the engine was being repaired," says Salas.
Its passengers was marooned in Guam when one of the plane's engine suffered some trouble making its technical stop-over truly a technical one preventing its take-off one hour after refueling to Manila, the nation's capital.
