The incident happened at 20.20 yesterday evening, when the flight that departed from Malta was reportedly caught up in severe turbulence while descending over the Tyrrhenian Sea, There were 170 people on board the flight, 40 of which were Maltese.
According to the Bologna airport authorities, the plane struck two air-pockets causing the aircraft to buckle.
Meanwhile, the pilots landed the plane at Bologna's Marconi airport, where six passengers were treated for shock and slight injuries. A steward was referred to hospital, while three passengers refused to continue with their trip and stayed at the airport.
All passengers were later flown out of Bologna to Treviso on another aircraft.

And that is why you always should have your seatbelt on!
