Twelve people have been injured due to turbulence on a flight from Doha to Dublin.
The Boeing 787-9 dreamliner experienced turbulence while airborne over Turkey, Dublin Airport’s operator DAA said.
Upon landing shortly before 13:00 local time, Qatar Airways flight QR017 was met by emergency services including airport police, ambulance and fire officers.
Six passengers and six crew members reported injuries - of these, eight people have been taken to hospital.
Yes it does. And it’s only going to get worse. Not saying that plane travel will become untenable. But we’re all going to have to brace for extra safety measures and the repercussions of more frequent and severe turbulence.
I’m wondering if doing things like going to the lavatory will become extremely difficult, if not risky, in the future.
I’m not sure how I feel about toilet seatbelts.
