A Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Tunisia turned into a nightmare for passengers when the aircraft encountered a severe storm with intense air turbulence. The pilot attempted to land at Tunis-Carthage Airport three times, but harsh weather conditions prevented it. In a video circulated on social media, panicked passengers are seen, and one is heard shouting "We're going to die." A Russian-speaking passenger who uploaded the video described the experience as extreme. Passengers asked the pilot to consider landing at another airport. Eventually, it was decided to divert the aircraft to Enfidha-Hammamet Airport, about 90 km south of Tunis, where it landed safely. Upon touchdown, passengers burst into applause. Turkish Airlines has not yet issued a response. The article also includes background on the phenomenon of turbulence, citing a 2023 British study that found a 55% increase in severe turbulence over the North Atlantic between 1979 and 2020, linked to climate change.
