Imagine being on a plane, flying smoothly through the air, when suddenly, out of nowhere, the plane hits a patch of severe turbulence. The plane shakes violently, throwing passengers around like ragdolls and causing drinks to spill everywhere. This is what happened to passengers on an Air Europa flight recently.
The plane was flying from Madrid to Vienna when it encountered the unexpected turbulence. According to reports, the plane dropped suddenly, causing passengers to scream in fear. Some passengers reported being injured, with one person suffering a broken nose.
The flight crew managed to regain control of the plane and land it safely in Vienna. However, the experience was undoubtedly traumatic for the passengers. One passenger described it as "the scariest moment of my life."
Air Europa has apologized for the incident and is investigating what caused the turbulence. The airline has also offered to compensate passengers for their injuries and inconvenience.
Turbulence is a common occurrence when flying, but it is usually not as severe as what happened on this Air Europa flight. Turbulence is caused by changes in the air pressure around the plane. These changes can be caused by weather conditions, such as thunderstorms, or by the plane's own movement, such as when it is turning or climbing.
Although turbulence is usually not dangerous, it can be uncomfortable and even frightening. If you are afraid of flying, there are some things you can do to help you cope with turbulence. These include:
If you are flying on an Air Europa flight and experience turbulence, rest assured that the flight crew is trained to handle it. The plane is also equipped with safety features that will help to protect you in the event of turbulence.
