Earlier this week, a passenger plane flying from New York to Warsaw, Poland had an emergency after wheels failed to drop. Luckily, though, none of the 230 passengers aboard were injured in the emergency crash. And according to Metal Underground, Polish death metal band Decapitated were among the survivors onboard.

The plane crash comes four years after the traffic accident that killed Decapitated drummer Vitek (who was also guitarist Vogg’s brother) and left vocalist Covan in a coma. While we can only imagine how horrifying an experience both accidents were, we’re glad that the current members of Decapitated (as well as everyone aboard the plane) are ok following the crash. Understandably, though, the band had to cancel their appearances at the Damnation Festival in Leeds, and at the Aalborg Metal Festival.
