Experienced turbulence mid-flight, forcing plane to make an emergency landing in Bavaria.
Hang tight, aviation pals! 🛫 🚨 A drama unfolded at Memmingen Airport in Bavaria last night when a Ryanair flight bound for Milan got hit by some wild turbulence. This turbulence, caused by those pesky storms brewing in southern Germany, left 9 passengers and a crew member with a few bumps and bruises. 👎
Three of the passengers needed to be carted off to the hospital. A two-year-old youngster ended up with some bruises, while a lady got herself a head wound, and another poor soul complained of back pain. 😓
The flight, which carried 179 folks and 6 crew members, was on its way from sunny Berlin. When the Southern Bavaria Air Traffic Control threw a spanner in the works by not approving the flight to continue, Ryanair got on the ball and organized some buses for the passengers to complete their journey to Milan instead. 🚌🇮🇹
Unfortunately, we couldn't get a comment from Ryanair at the time. But hey, we all make emergency landings once in a while, right? 😉
After the turbulence, additional problems arose for the people of southern Germany, with the storms causing damage to homes and infrastructure in the area. Thankfully, no additional injuries were reported aside from those on the ill-fated Ryanair flight.
More general-news stories emerged due to the weather forecast predicting more storms in the region, potentially causing further accidents like the one at Memmingen Airport. Local residents should remain vigilant about the weather conditions and prepare accordingly.
