Description
Two passengers and two flight attendants were injured on a flight that experienced turbulence Wednesday afternoon while en route to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport.
Two passengers and two flight attendants were injured on a flight that experienced turbulence Wednesday afternoon while en route to St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport.
The plane was carrying 179 passengers and six crew members, according to an Allegiant statement.
Passenger Lisa Spriggs told 10 Tampa Bay the plane hit a small amount of turbulence while on the descent, which caused an attendant to fall to the floor — and then the plane hit a major patch.
"Literally, she flew up in the air — like 'Matrix' is the only way I can think to describe it — was there for maybe half a second and then landed straight down," Spriggs said. She recalled the attendant and another worker broke their ankles.
