Two crew members were badly injured after getting flung around the cabin during terrifying turbulence aboard a Ryanair flight across Spain.
The plane had reportedly been ferrying 180 passengers between Vitoria on the mainland to Palma in Mallorca, the Sun reported.
All was going swimmingly until the aircraft encountered some severe bumps caused by a storm front moving through the area during their descent.
This sudden jolt caused the aircraft to lurch forward, sending one flight attendant flying up into the ceiling while another was struck by the trolley they were pushing down the aisle.
Meanwhile, several other crew members were injured while strolling the cabin conducting their final safety checks, the Standard reported.
Emergency services mobilized to meet the airplane upon arrival at Son Sant Joan airport, after which they tended to the injured crew members.
Unfortunately, the extent of the flight attendants’ injuries is unknown at this time. The Post has reached out to Ryanair for comment.
This isn’t the first instance of someone getting injured after things went bump on a flight.
In July, 18 people were hospitalized after a Europe-bound Delta Air Lines flight to Europe when the plane encountered severe turbulence over Wyoming, throwing unbuckled passengers up to the ceiling and back down to the floor.
In perhaps the most serious incident last year, a 73-year-old British grandfather was killed and more than 30 others were injured after a Singapore Airlines Boeing flight hit severe turbulence, plunging 6,000 feet and sending unrestrained travelers crashing into overhead bins.
This unfortunate trend may only worsen in the future, too — a 2023 study found that climate change is exacerbating turbulence around the globe.
The skies have been particularly unfriendly over the North Atlantic, one of the busiest flight routes, with the total annual duration of severe turbulence increasing by 55% between 1979 and 2020.
