Numerous passengers on an Air Europa flight from Spain to Uruguay suffered serious neck and skull fractures after the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft they were flying in hit extreme turbulence over the Atlantic Ocean.
Flight UX045 had to make an emergency landing in Natal, Brazil, a seaside city where 36 passengers in total had to be treated for injuries resulting from "heavy" turbulence. Of these, 23 had to be hospitalized.
It seems the injuries and damages during the #turbulence happened aboard #AirEuropa #UX045 Madrid to Uruguay flight was NOT because of a sudden drop in altitude. The FlightRadar24 data shows a sudden drop in speed by 259kmph in 27 sec.

Air Europa Flight UX045 marked by "terror, feeling that you are falling and that it does not end"
Telemundo reported after speaking to several passengers from the harrowing flight that at least one passenger flew out of his seat and hit the ceiling of the plane before getting stuck in the overhead luggage bins. The following video footage reveals more:

In a statement from Air Europa that was quoted by ABC News, the company explained away the flight's travail as a consequence of extreme turbulence.
"Due to the nature of the turbulence and for safety reasons, it was decided to divert the flight to Natal International Airport in Brazil," the company said, adding that there were 325 passengers on the flight.
One passenger told El Observador that the sensation he felt during the turbulence was horrifying and "one of terror, feeling that you are falling and that it does not end."
"And you are aware that you are falling at an incalculable speed," he added. "And you felt that it ended there, and you died."
While turbulence is a common occurrence during air travel, extreme events like this that result in emergency landings and serious injuries requiring hospitalization are much less common. The last time something like this occurred was about a month-and-a-half ago when a Singapore Airlines Boeing 777-300ER flight suffered an abrupt drop that injured dozens of passengers.
"There's nowhere in the world I want to go so bad that I'm willing to soar through the sky in an aluminum tube built by diversity hires," wrote one commenter about the downfall of Boeing ever since it embraced "woke" DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) and opened a non-union assembly plant in South Carolina that is riddled with problems and corruption.
"ALWAYS wear your seatbelt when flying except when you're using the bathroom," wrote another. "Doesn't even have to be tight, just buckled."
