Despite significant damage on the plane, the aircraft must have landed. According to the official statement of Indigo, the flight was common until the plane found himself in the middle of the “sudden storm with a fight”. The plane suffered great damage, and holes were visible in the nose of the plane in the photos.
The SHEIKH SAMIULLAH passenger recorded the video inside the plane showing the panic and fear of passengers. During the turbulence, the crying of children and screams of adults is clearly heard, while the plane shakes strongly. The passengers actually thought that the flight would be calm and expected to arrive at Srinagar for about half an hour, but the pilot soon published a notice of the need for seat belts.

“There was so many turbulence that I thought this was my last flight. We all thought we’d crash. It was an extremely traumatic experience,” Samiullah told the press Trust of India. After disembarking, passengers were shocked when they saw airplane damage.

Expert for air traffic and former inspector of the US Traffic Ministry, Mary Schiavo, pointed out that such situations are not rare. The fight can cause serious damage to the aircraft – from punching the nose to the windshield damage. However, as she explained, it often happens that bad weather should not be shown on the radar, so the crew cannot be prepared in a timely manner. “In such situations, the pilot must manually manage the plane and maintain control, which is very stressful,” Schiavo said. She emphasized that, although there may be a loss of part of equipment or damage, the most important thing is that the aircraft can safely control and land, transmits the morning leaf.
This is not the only case of a serious turbulence that caused media attention. Last year, the flightapore Airlines ended tragic after the powerful turbulence caused the death of a passenger and injured more than 70 people.
