On a Lufthansa flight from Buenos Aires to Frankfurt, 11 passengers on a Boeing 747-8 were injured as a result of severe turbulence. BILD reported this on November 12.
According to the airline, the plane probably hit the air pockets suddenly. Five passengers and six crew members received mostly minor injuries, and the victims were immediately treated after landing safely in Frankfurt. The pilot called for medical assistance during the landing.
As Lufthansa noted, despite the chaos, the safety of the aircraft itself is not at risk.
The Boeing 747-8 was reported to be flying in the Intertropical Convergence Zone. This is the equatorial low pressure zone that you have to pass through in this region.
We remind you that the captain of the Turkish Airlines plane died on the flight. The Turkish plane was flying from Seattle to Istanbul. The co-pilot planned to make an emergency landing in New York, but a senior colleague died before landing.
It was also reported that a ground service worker was crushed by the plane at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. The fatal accident occurred while the plane, flying to the Finnish capital from Tokyo, was being pulled from a parking lot by a tractor.
