All passengers and crew on board the flight were safe, and the incident did not result in any injuries or fatalities. The prompt action of the pilots and the safety measures in place ensured that the situation was brought under control, and the aircraft was safely returned to the bay for inspection.
The incident is currently under investigation, and the aircraft is being examined to determine the cause of the technical glitch. The parking brake issue is being thoroughly examined, and measures are being taken to prevent similar incidents in the future.
