Fourteen people sustained injuries, including one crew member with a severe injury, when an Air India flight experienced a sudden 300-foot drop mid-air. The Airbus A320 aircraft was en route from Phuket, Thailand, to Delhi, India, when it encountered significant turbulence.
The incident sent passengers and crew members moving around the cabin before the plane ultimately landed safely at its destination on Tuesday at 11 a.m. local time. Footage captured by a passenger on board revealed the aftermath, showing debris on the cabin floor and conveying a sense of disarray. One passenger, Marina Trettenbach, recounted her experience, stating she believed she was going to die during the severe turbulence, describing it as the "worst seconds of my life."
