Several Injured as Turbulence Strikes A Delta Airlines Flight Landing at Sydney, Australia
Several people sustained injuries when a Delta aircraft originating in Los Angeles to Sydney encountered significant turbulence Friday morning.
Delta Flight 41 "experienced a brief period of turbulence" as it made its approach and landed at the Sydney airport, a representative for the carrier told. Four flight attendants were injured.
The New South Wales Ambulance Service stated they evaluated a total of five people, and took a trio to hospital with minor injuries that comprised back pain and headaches. Those affected were between their 30s to 70s.
This marks the latest incident of aircraft experiencing severe turbulence, with researchers saying that global warming is a key driver.
The aircraft was carrying 245 passengers and 15 crew members on the aircraft, the representative added, stating that the plane touched down "safely and normally" at the airport at 06:48 local time on Friday.
Emergency responders reported they received a call just three minutes ahead of the plane arrived, and response teams were standing by on the runway.
Why in-flight bumpiness is becoming more common - and potentially more dangerous.
During the past year, twenty-five passengers and crew sustained injuries when a separate Delta aircraft, travelling from Salt Lake City, Utah to Amsterdam, hit "considerable" turbulence just 120 minutes into the long-haul flight, and had to make an emergency landing.
Recently, those on board on a certain international flight experienced a terrifying brief five-second bout of severe turbulence. A traveler lost their life and numerous people sustained injuries, as unbelted passengers lifted out of their seats and fell back down.
Bumpy air is not uncommon on aircraft journeys, and while instances of rough conditions are reportedly becoming more frequent, they are still very rare.
Estimates show that there are approximately five thousand cases of significant in-flight disturbance each year, out of a overall number of over 35 million journeys that are conducted worldwide.
Intense turbulence is described as when the sudden jolts of a aircraft going through unstable air apply greater than 1.5g-force on your body - sufficient force to throw you from your seat if you weren't wearing a restraint.
As a changing climate modifies weather patterns, experts warn that flying could become bumpier: warming trends and shifting wind patterns in the jet stream level are projected to boost the regularity and severity of severe turbulence.
