Ryanair Boeing 737 From London Crashes Into Barrier At Greek Airport After Severe Turbulence

London: A shocking plane crash took place at a Greek airport after a Ryanair flight from London crashed into a barrier after landing on Thursday. According to reports, the Boeing 737 suffered severe turbulence before landing at Kalamata International Airport in Greece, following which it collided with a barrier, leaving the flight's wing completely wrecked. The Ryanair flight had departed from London Stansted Airport earlier in the morning, managed to land at the airport despite suffering severe turbulence. 

However, the dramatic incident occurred when the aircraft was taxiing down the runway, as it veered off course and collided with the fence, resulting in a loud banging sound that was heard by passengers.

According to reports, the crew had warned passengers about the possibility of a bumpy landing due to turbulence. "You could feel the impact," said a passenger. "There was an announcement that everyone had to wait on the plane for the fire brigade. With the wing damaged the way it was, why wouldn't you evacuate the plane first? Everyone was scared - it was the fact they said to wait on the plane even though there was clearly a risk of fire," he further added.

The passengers described the moment of impact as terrifying. "While it was taxiing down the runway towards the red and white barrier at the end, the plane turned and everyone heard this loud banging sound," said one passenger. The force of the collision was so strong that it caused major damage to the wing.

Despite the severity of the incident, Ryanair officials stated that the plane had landed safely and passengers were able to disembark normally after the required inspections and maintenance. "This flight from London Stansted to Kalamata was taxiing to stand when the wing tip came in contact with a fence at Kalamata Airport," a Ryanair official said, adding that the aircraft subsequently continued to stand, and passengers disembarked normally. The aircraft then underwent the required inspections and maintenance prior to its return to service.

Meanwhile, the incident has raised concerns about passengers' safety, as the passengers onboard the flight suggested that the crew's decision to keep them on board while waiting for the fire brigade added to the panic. 

As per reports, the emergency services rushed to the spot, and a rescue operation was initiated. 

Further details regarding the crash are awaited.
