A Number of Injured as Rough Air Strikes Delta Flight Landing at Sydney, Australia
Multiple passengers and crew sustained injuries when a Delta flight traveling from Los Angeles to Sydney was hit by rough air Friday morning.
Flight DL41 "encountered brief turbulence" as it touched down at Sydney Airport, a company official stated. Several cabin crew members required medical attention.
Emergency medical services said they evaluated five patients, and took a trio to a medical facility with minor injuries that comprised spinal discomfort and migraines. The patients' ages were between their 30s up to the 70s.
It is the latest incident of aircraft experiencing atmospheric disturbance, with experts pointing out that climate change is a major factor.
There were 245 people and fifteen staff members on the Airbus A350, the representative added, stating that the plane landed "safely and normally" at the airport at 6:48 a.m. local time on Friday morning.
The NSW Ambulance Service said they got a call just only 180 seconds prior to the plane touched down, and emergency vehicles were standing by on the runway.
Why plane turbulence is getting increasingly prevalent - and more severe.
In the previous year, twenty-five passengers and crew were injured when a separate Delta aircraft, flying from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam, hit "considerable" turbulence just two hours into the lengthy trip, and had to make an emergency landing.
Earlier this year, passengers and crew on a certain international flight endured a harrowing five seconds bout of severe turbulence. A traveler lost their life and dozens were injured, as those without seatbelts rose out of their seats and fell back down.
Bumpy air is not uncommon during flights, and while occurrences of rough conditions are reportedly becoming more frequent, they are remained quite uncommon.
Estimates show that there are approximately 5,000 incidents of severe or worse turbulence each year, out of a sum of more than 35 million journeys that currently occur globally.
Strong atmospheric disturbance is categorized as when the vertical motions of a jet passing through unstable air apply greater than 1.5 times the force of gravity on your body - enough to propel you from your seat if you were not fastened by a restraint.
As climate change alters weather patterns, experts warn that air travel could become more turbulent: warming trends and altered air currents in the higher altitudes are likely to heighten the frequency and intensity of dangerous in-flight bumps.
