Six Flight Attendants Injured Due to Turbulence…
As per AirLive, it is understood the incident onboard EVA Air flight BR238 Jakarta-Taipei, which injured six flight attendants, was due to severe turbulence experienced onboard.
Furthermore, no passengers were injured, but one came close to hitting the ceiling due to another passenger’s quick action.
It is understood also that no damage was suffered to the aircraft during the turbulence event.
Evidence that substantiates this view is RadarBox data reporting that the aircraft departed again three hours after landing and operated the BR10 service to Vancouver.
Since then, no issues have been reported with the aircraft, and no further information has been released on the incident.
