WHAT’S THE STORY?
1. Passengers on board a Ryanair flight that experienced extreme turbulence have disputed the airline’s claims that all subsequent injuries were minor. They also say that there was no access to a first-aid kit. Here’s one account:
They was only one pair of gloves available, and the other person attending another injured passenger had to wear plastic bags on their hands. At this point I had noticed a first aid kit in the overhead storage area, and when I pointed this out to a crew member, they informed me that the first aid kit could only be opened by a doctor. So the medics on board had to use tissue and plastic bags to help the injured passengers.
