undefined 16, 2024
Experts say turbulence is worsening due to climate change, with atmospheric scientist Paul Williams warning that flights will face increasing turbulence if climate change isn't addressed. However, pilots like Chris McGee, with nearly 30 years of experience, assert that turbulence causing a crash is extremely unlikely, as modern aircraft are highly robust and made from flexible materials like carbon fiber. Recent incidents, such as an Air Europa emergency landing and injuries on a Singapore Airlines flight, highlight mid-flight turbulence fears.
