The near-miss happened at Adelaide Airport yesterday as the plane was rolling down the runway with 167 passengers on board

According to Malaysia's New Straits Times, an official said: 'MH136 stopped its takeoff safely and waited the required cool-down time on its brakes before departing from Adelaide.'

The news comes just two weeks after another Malaysian Airlines plane, flight MH17, was shot down in a suspected attack by Russian separatist while flying over Ukraine.

All 298 people on board, including 80 children, died after the plane was allegedly hit by a BUK surface-to-air missile fired by rebels demanding independence from Ukraine.
