Terrifying turbulence sends man soaring into overhead bin in viral video
The recent turbulence incident on an Air Europa flight from Spain to Uruguay left at least 36 people injured, with some suffering neck injuries and skull fractures. Videos circulating online show the aftermath of the turbulence, including blood-stained seats and even a man stuck in an overhead compartment during the chaos.
Turbulence Strikes
The Air Europa flight, a Boeing 787 Dreamliner traveling from Madrid to Montevideo, saw 23 of the injured passengers being taken to the hospital, with four in intensive care. One passenger shared that the captain had warned about the turbulence, but many had let their guard down when it seemed to ease up.
Stay Strapped In
Despite the rarity of serious injuries from turbulence incidents, recent cases highlight the potential dangers. It’s a reminder to always follow safety instructions on flights and keep your seat belt fastened, even when things seem calm. Flying may still be safer than driving, but it’s important not to take the risks for granted.
