Pilot of Ryanair plane was compelled to make an emergency landing due to turbulence encountered during flight.
No holds barred, unvarnished truth here. A Ryanair flight, ferrying 185 souls from Berlin to Milan, went through a living nightmare over Bavaria thanks to a goddamn thunderstorm. The plane had to make an emergency landing, and it was nothing short of a rollercoaster ride.
The Ryanair bird, with 179 passengers and 6 bold crew members, found itself in hot water when it was forced to touch down at Memmingen Airport in Bavaria due to injuries sustained by passengers and crew during the turbulence. Nine of these unfortunate souls required medical attention, including a 2-year-old child who sported some sweet bruises, a woman with a prestigious head wound, and a passenger with a backache that could put a mule to shame. You can bet your last dime that three of them had to be carted off to a medical facility for treatment[1][2][3].
The flight in question was destined for sunny Milan, but the Southern Bavaria Air Traffic Control came as a wrecking ball, barring the plane from continuing its journey to the promised land. Ryanair, the resilient airline, is now rerouting the stranded travelers using buses[1][3]. Initially, Ryanair was as tight-lipped as a clam, but we'll keep you posted if they decide to open their yappers.
According to reports from Bild newspaper, passengers experienced the ride of their lives during the turbulence, with some even flinging themselves against the ceiling. The paper painted a picture using eye-witness accounts and photos showing damage to the cabin's ceiling panels[4]. To add insult to injury, passengers took Ryanair to the cleaners, complaining that they weren't instructed to fasten their seatbelts, leaving several unsecured and vulnerable[4].
While today was a day of turbulence, it's not all doom and gloom. A top-notch meteorologist from ntv has issued a warning for stormy weather in Southern Germany that could stretch until Pentecost Sunday[4]. The storms have already wreaked havoc, but the worst is supposedly over for Thursday and Friday. Sadly, we can't expect a better day in the southeast, where temperatures will peak at 28 degrees. Elsewhere, we're staring down the barrel of 17 to 24 degrees. If you thought that was all, there's more storm brewing over the Pentecost weekend[4].
So there you have it, folks. Stay safe and make sure to buckle up during those unexpected bumps in the sky.
