Terrifying reports are about a United Airlines flight forced to make an emergency landing.
The flight was traveling from Cancun to Chicago when all of a sudden, things went from bad to worse. The aftermath led to seven passengers getting injured as per reports from local media outlets.
The plane experienced significant turbulence mid-flight, leaving the passengers shaken with fear. Some reported absolute chaos and panic as everything happened so suddenly.
The pilot did not take any risk and requested a control tower for possible assistance in landing the aircraft at the nearest airport location.
The closest airport nearby was in Tennessee, where the plane was diverted instead of its final destination, which was scheduled for Chicago.
One plane passenger was rushed to a nearby hospital after landing but is reported to be doing better and is out of danger.
The plane landed in Memphis International Airport and that’s when the United Airlines flight was met with both the police and fire department who were stationed on standby.
United Airlines has yet to respond to more details about how and why the incident arose, but they confirmed that it occurred when the seat belt sign was on.
