Nine individuals sustained injuries after a turbulent flight from Berlin to Milan. Buckle up, folks, because we're diving into the chaotic weather that caused a Ryanair plane to make an urgent landing in Memmingen, Germany.

It was a wild Wednesday night when a flight, carrying 179 fearless travelers and a courageous crew of six, faced some rough turbulence. To avoid any unwanted accidents, the pilot was forced to perform an emergency landing at Memmingen Airport in Bavaria around 8:30 PM.

Three passengers were rushed to the local hospital for treatment, while the remaining injured individuals received outpatient care. As a preventive measure, all passengers were checked by emergency services. Sadly, the aircraft was grounded due to the incident. Not to worry though, the airline arranged for bus transport to Milan, just under 380 kilometers away.

Across southern Germany, several regions witnessed property damage due to stormy conditions as well. Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, was one of these areas, where strong winds molested houses, ripping roofs off several row houses. Luckily, no casualties were reported. The German Weather Service (DWD) is investigating, suspecting a small tornado or waterspout to blame.

On the day following the disaster, storms were once again predicted, with hail, strong winds, and localized heavy rain expected on June 5, 2023. So, keep those eyes to the skies and be prepared!
