An unexpected and chilling journey awaited the 179 passengers on board a Ryanair flight bound for Milan, as their aircraft faced a harrowing hailstorm in Bavaria, leading to an urgent landing. The adverse conditions left nine individuals injured, among them one crew member and eight dear passengers. Three of the affected proved severe enough to require hospitalization — a little tyke of two sulked with bruises, a woman wrestled with a head wound, and another grownup complained of a sore back.
The commercial plane intended for 185 souls mysteriously veered towards Memmingen Airport in Bavaria following the wrath of the storm. The south of Bavaria Air Traffic Control firmly denied further flight authorization for the plane, which left the airline swiftly arranging buses for the trip's conclusion once aboard. Unfortunately, Ryanair was initially reluctant to provide statements on the incident.
As reports by the "Bild" newspaper revealed, some hapless passengers were launched skyward during the turbulence, only to land discombobulated on the ceiling. According to the paper, the interior of the cabin bore the brunt of the mayhem, with ceiling panels precariously hanging loose. Passengers unconvincingly accused Ryanair for neglecting to provide instructions to fasten seat belts, rendering several of the passengers unsecured during the tumult.
Weather expert Bjoern Alexander of ntv cautioned the Bavarian region of the impending storms, predicting strong thunderstorms that persist regionally until Pentecost Sunday. "The worst is over on Thursday and Friday, but we still need to gear up for formidable thunderstorms in certain regions," Alexander ominously warned. Bavaria is anticipated to have gusts up to 28 degrees on Friday, but the rest of Germany will be spared from more temperate climes, receiving only 17 to 24 degrees. Alexander also emphasized that additional storms are not out of the question during the Pentecost weekend.
