AUDIO: ANOTHER SEVERE TURBULENCE INCIDENT ON BOEING DREAMLINER
At least 30 people were injured on Monday after an Air Europa Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner flight hit turbulence over the Atlantic, sending passengers flying out of their seats. Passengers aboard the flight from Spain to Uruguay said the captain had warned of turbulence, asked everybody to put their seatbelts on, then there was a little bump, and then, said one passenger, “The plane abruptly fell and we all went up. Those who did not have seatbelts flew and some remained hooked to the roof.” Video of the aftermath shows a man stuck above a missing ceiling panel, his feet poking out. Other footage taken by passengers show ceiling panels torn off by the impact of the turbulence, oxygen masks dangling overhead and at least one destroyed seat. Air Europa said the flight, carrying 325 passengers and bound for Uruguay, was hit by turbulence while flying over the Atlantic Ocean and was forced to land in Natal, in north-eastern Brazil.
* What they’re saying is, it’s been the AIR’S fault all this time.
* So much for second drink service.
* So now, you can fly WITH your luggage. Is that an extra fee?
* From now on, the seatbelts will be fastened with tiny padlocks.
* And ceiling panels will be fastened with DOUBLE the Super Glue.
* “Congratulations, you’ve all passed the Zero-G Phase of astronaut training.”
