Passengers on a Scandinavian Airlines flight from Sweden to Miami faced tense moments in the air due to severe turbulence. Witnesses reported hearing screams of fear, some of which were captured on video as the aircraft shook violently.

The incident occurred on Thursday when the plane, carrying 254 passengers, was diverted to Copenhagen for a technical inspection. Airline representatives confirmed that no serious injuries were reported, but the aircraft required additional evaluation. Passengers were provided with hotel accommodations and rebooked flights to continue their journey to Miami.

The event left passengers shaken, with some admitting they had never experienced turbulence this intense. Cell phone footage showed panicked travelers gripping their seats as pilots worked to stabilize the aircraft.

Turbulence and Flight Safety

Experts emphasize that turbulence is a routine occurrence in air travel, especially on long transatlantic routes. However, airlines adhere to strict protocols to ensure passenger safety. In this case, the crew acted quickly and professionally, choosing the nearest airport for an emergency landing.
