Out of nearly 180 people on the flight, nine were injured. That included a toddler and a crew member. Some people had cuts and bruises, one woman hit her head badly, and another person hurt their back.
Emergency medical staff were waiting when the plane landed. Three people were taken to the hospital, and others were treated at the airport itself.
One passenger described it like a ride suddenly dropping — the kind you’d find at an amusement park. Others said people actually hit the ceiling when the plane jolted. It was that intense. You can imagine how scared everyone must’ve been.
Dangerous Storms Across Germany That Day
It turns out, this wasn’t just a one-off event. The entire area was dealing with rough weather that day. In nearby cities like Ulm, winds were so strong that rooftops were torn off buildings. Officials had even warned about hail, strong gusts, and possibly even tornadoes.
With such wild weather, it’s hard not to wonder — should this flight have been delayed? But honestly, weather can change quickly, and even with the best systems, pilots and airlines sometimes get caught in it.
After landing, Ryanair made sure passengers got to Milan by bus since flying any further wasn’t safe anymore.
Ryanair Speaks Out and Experts Share Warnings
Ryanair later put out a statement confirming the incident. They said safety is always their top priority, and thanked the crew for handling the situation calmly and professionally. They’re also investigating how things went down.
Some aviation experts are saying that turbulence like this may become more common. Why? Because with climate change, air currents and weather systems are shifting. That means more unstable skies and stronger storms, especially during seasonal changes.
So while flying is still safe overall, this might be something travelers will experience more often in the future.
Thankfully, everyone made it through. A few people were hurt, but things could’ve gone much worse. Credit goes to the quick action by the pilot and rescue teams who helped manage the situation.
