‘We are falling, we will die!’ Scary video from Turkish Airlines flight after 3 failed landing attempts in storm

A Turkish Airlines flight from Istanbul to Tunisia experienced severe turbulence during its approach to Tunis-Carthage International Airport due to stormy weather on September 10. The aircraft attempted to land three times before being diverted to Enfidha-Hammamet International Airport, located around 100 km south of Tunis. Passengers aboard the flight were left in fear as they were shaken violently and heard screaming, with one passenger Marina Maiskaya sharing videos on Instagram that captured the terrifying moments inside the cabin.

She described the pilot's repeated attempts to land the plane amidst the storm, with passengers gripping their seats and screaming as the aircraft appeared to drop suddenly. The strong humming noise and a feeling of free fall were also noted in the footage. Despite the terrifying ordeal, the aircraft managed to land safely at the alternate airport, where passengers applauded the Turkish Airlines pilots.
