Brussels Airlines flight SN2588, an Avro RJ-100, was taxiing to the terminal when four passengers were hit by hot hydraulics fluid.
The airplane landed at Brussels Airport, coming from Berlin-Tegel, Germany. During taxi, the crew noticed the loss of the “green” hydraulic system, and the loss of nose wheel steering.
The cabin crew reported at the same time that fluid was leaking into the cabin, and that some passengers got contaminated by the fluid.
The leak was located at row 7, having an effect between rows 3 to 9 F/E/D.
The pressure caused the oil to escape in the cabin, causing panic amongst the passengers, and contamination.
The airplane stopped at the inner 9 taxiway, and the crew proceeded to the evacuation of the passengers using the forward air stair.
Four passengers showed signs of skin irritation to the face and shoulder.
Causes.
The rupture of the hydraulic pressure line was caused by metal fatigue at the weld joint of the pipe, associated with a low level of weld penetration.
