Another Flight Hits Severe Turbulence, Injuring 12 Passengers Days After Singapore Airlines Incident

Less than a week after severe turbulence hit a Singapore Airlines flight, a Qatar Airways flight experienced the same plight last Sunday.

Twelve people -- six passengers and six crew members -- were injured when the airlines' Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner hit turbulence while flying over Turkey on its way to Dublin from Doha, according to Dublin Airport's operator as reported by the BBC.

After the plane safely landed as scheduled at Dublin Airport before 1 p.m. local time, eight people of the 12 injured passengers were taken to a hospital.

Emergency services including airport police, ambulance and fire officers also attended and supported the disembarkment of Qatar Airways flight QR017 passengers at the time.

"The Dublin Airport team continues to provide full assistance on the ground to passengers and airline staff," said a Dublin Airport Authority spokesperson.

Some passengers on the flight were also interviewed about what happened during their flight to Dublin.

"Food all over the plane, on the ceiling, everywhere. This managed to happen," a passenger told RTE News, showing his torn shorts, before adding, "So yeah, it was just atrocious. Never again."

"Just going over Baghdad, we felt the plane dip for about five seconds. And the next thing we saw is the flight attendant just go up in the air and come straight back down," recalled another passenger.

"The plane fell. The poor flight attendant went into the air. Food went everywhere. And then, obviously, it was seatbelts on. There was panic, the look of panic everywhere. Some of the flight attendants I saw, they had scratches on their faces. They had ice [on] their faces. There was one girl that had a sling on her arm," shared someone else.

"I'm just so tired. I'm just so relieved that we made it home OK. That's all... It was very scary. It was the worst experience, honestly, on an airplane," a different passenger shared.

The Qatar Airways incident comes less than a week after a Singapore Airlines flight (SQ321) carrying 211 passengers and 18 crew members from London to Singapore experienced severe turbulence on May 21.

The Boeing 777-300ER was midway through its meal service when it hit turbulence above Myanmar's Irrawaddy Basin, according to CNN. Because of the severe turbulence, the plane made an emergency landing in Bangkok at 3:45 p.m. local time.

The incident resulted to one death and at least 71 injuries. The injured passengers included cituzens of Malaysia, New Zealand, Spain, Ireland, the U.S. and the U.K.

The flight's casualty was a 73-year-old British man who reportedly died from a suspected heart condition. At the time of CNN's report, his autopsy was still ongoing.
