- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
Passengers on an American Airlines flight from Athens to Philadelphia experienced moments of horror as the aircraft hit turbulence resulting in the injury of ten persons.
Flight 759, with 287 passengers, hit severe turbulence shortly before landing on Saturday. Three passengers and seven crew members were transferred to the hospital.
Although American Airlines has announced that throughout the turbulence the signs have been lit up for passengers to have their belts tied, Jessica Husman, who was on the plane, wrote on Twitter that there was no warning.
"The turbulence in the flight was so mad and unexpected that a crew member pulled his shoulder," she noted in another post.
