duke007 Posted May 1, 2017 Author Share Posted May 1, 2017 Aeroflot turbulence leaves passengers with fractures and bruises (CNN)At least 27 passengers were injured when an Aeroflot flight from Moscow to Bangkok hit severe air turbulence on Monday. 24 Russians and 3 Thais were hurt, with some suffering serious fractures and bruising, when the plane unexpectedly hit an "air hole" during its approach to Suvarnabhumi Airport, according to the statement from Russian Embassy in Bangkok. "Some injured passengers were not wearing seat belts. All victims were taken to a local hospital with various injuries, mostly fractures and bruises. Some require surgery. Fifteen people remain hospitalized," the embassy said. The Airport Authority of Thailand said in a press release that 30 passengers had been injured during the flight with 27 individuals transferred to Samitivej Srinakarin hospital in Bangkok, while three chose to seek their own treatment. It added that the Boeing 777 was travelling with 318 passengers and 14 crew on board and that it was struck with turbulence as it flew over Myanmar. 'Blood on the ceiling' Rostik Rusev, who is from Ukraine but lives in Hackensack, New Jersey, was on the flight and told CNN it was so bad it threw passengers out of their seats. "There was blood on the ceiling, people with broken noses, babies who were hurt, it was horrible. It came out of nowhere it was like driving a car and a tire suddenly bursts. "The aircraft personnel couldn't have been more professional and courageous. They were heroes in everything they were doing." Rusev also provided CNN with a photograph showing blood on an overhead compartment, which, he says, was the result of people being thrown out of their seats and hitting the ceiling. "It lasted for about ten seconds, the plane was being thrown everywhere An "air hole" is an area of low pressure air where there differential causes the plane to drop, according to Richard Quest, CNN's airline and aviation correspondent. He said it can also be the results of air currents shifting, crossing the jet stream or storms in the area. However, Quest said "air holes" are not dangerous to the aircraft -- only those who aren't wearing seatbelts when the plane travels through the air pockets. Aeroflot issued a statement explaining the circumstances surrounding the incident, which occurred about 40 minutes before landing, saying that this type of turbulence known as "clear sky turbulence" is difficult to prepare for as "it does not occur in clouds but in clear skies with good visibility." The flight operator cited this as the reason passengers were not warned to return to their seats before adding that around 750 cases of clear sky turbulence occurs globally each year. Russian officials were at hospitals in the Thai capital providing translation and counseling assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchieBunker Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Well, we now know the idiots who didnt have their seat belts on!! theres no reason NOT to have your seat belt rather loosely fastened while seated. No mention of the crew that was injured as they are the most exposed since they are usually up and walking around..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
