Multiple Hurt as In-Flight Disturbance Strikes Delta Flight Landing at Sydney
A number of individuals were hurt when a Delta Airlines jet originating in LA to Sydney was hit by significant turbulence on Friday morning.
The flight, numbered 41 "encountered brief turbulence" as it landed at Sydney Airport, a representative for the carrier informed. Several cabin crew members were injured.
The New South Wales Ambulance Service stated they treated five patients, and took three of them to hospital with minor injuries that comprised spinal discomfort and migraines. Those affected spanned from their 30s to 70s.
It is the most recent case of planes being hit by turbulence, with aviation specialists indicating that global warming is a significant contributor.
The aircraft was carrying 245 passengers and 15 crew members on the aircraft, the representative added, adding that the plane arrived "without further incident" at Sydney Airport at shortly before 7 a.m. on Friday morning.
Emergency responders reported they were alerted just a mere three minutes prior to the plane landed, and emergency vehicles were standing by on the runway.
Why in-flight bumpiness is becoming increasingly prevalent - and potentially more dangerous.
Last year, twenty-five passengers and crew were hurt when a Delta Airlines flight, travelling from Salt Lake City, Utah to Amsterdam, Netherlands, experienced "significant" atmospheric disturbance just 120 minutes into the transoceanic journey, and diverted for an emergency landing.
Recently, passengers and crew on a Singapore Airlines jet experienced a terrifying short but intense of severe turbulence. One passenger lost their life and many were hurt, as individuals not fastened in lifted out of their seats and crashed back down.
Bumpy air is fairly routine while flying, and while cases of significant turbulence are reportedly becoming more frequent, they are statistically infrequent.
Data suggests that there are around 5,000 incidents of severe or worse turbulence annually, out of a sum of more than 35 million flights that currently occur worldwide.
Severe turbulence is described as when the vertical motions of a plane going through unstable air generate greater than 1.5 times the force of gravity on your body - sufficient force to lift you out of your seat if you weren't wearing a restraint.
As a changing climate shifts weather patterns, researchers alert that air travel could become more turbulent: temperature changes and shifting wind patterns in the jet stream level are likely to boost the frequency and intensity of severe turbulence.
