Woman Injured During Major Turbulence Caused by Cape Town Storm

One woman was flung across a plane during a Joburg to Cape Town flight this morning, when the aeroplane she was travelling on was caught in major turbulence due to the Cape Town storm in South Africa.

As the plane was shaken by the turbulence, the lady was flung from her seat and injured her head, with a gash above her forehead, according to Capetonian Graeme Rogers who was also on the fligh.

Rogers said the lady told him she had been trying to make her safety belt tighter… when by mistake she opened it instead!

Rogers said the Kalula flight MN111, which took off from Oliver Tambo Airport at 10am, was a “very scary experience” BUT he has only praise for the captain.

“It was a perfect landing, absolute textbook stuff,” Rogers told SAPeople.
