Qatar Airways Boeing 787 Hit By Intense Turbulence, 12 Injured

A Qatar Airways flight experienced a severe drop Sunday … injuring a dozen people — and, eyewitness accounts paint a terrifying scene.

The flight — going from Doha, Qatar to Dublin — landed safely at the Irish airport Sunday, according to a statement from its official account.

In the statement, the airport says Airport Police and the Fire and Rescue Departments met the plane after it arrived … and, discovered 12 of the flyers — 6 passengers and 6 crew — were injured. Dublin says eight have gone to the hospital.

Apparently, the turbulence occurred over Turkey … but, the crew decided to continue on to Ireland instead of detouring — unclear why.

A local news company, RTÉ News, spoke to the passengers after they finally disembarked from their flight … and, just listen to their stories. It sounds like the turbulence hit suddenly — not even giving passengers enough time to get their seatbelts on.

Some passengers have torn clothes and wide eyes in the vid … while others admit they’re just happy they survived.

Of course, it’s just the latest unfortunate incident taking place on a Boeing plane — and comes just days after more than 30 people were injured and one died on a Singapore Airlines flight from London hit turbulence.

We showed you footage of the aftermath … with debris strewn about the cabin floor and oxygen masks hanging from the ceiling after plummeting more than 6,000 feet.
