Back Camila Alves there are scary moments. Hollywood star wife Matthew McConaughey was on board a Lufthansa plane that had to make an unscheduled landing in Washington on Wednesday night (local time) en route from the US to Frankfurt due to severe turbulence. Some people were slightly injured by the turbulence, a company spokesman said when asked by the German Press Agency. Affected passengers received first aid on board by flight attendants trained in these cases.
Alves: “Chaos” after the turmoil
Alves posted a short video on Instagram showing cloths and food lying on the floor of the machine. “Turbulence,” she wrote. “Everything” flew around, she commented on the post. “To respect the privacy of those around me, I don’t show up anymore, but the plane was a mess.”
After experiencing turbulence, the crew of flight LH469 decided to make an alternate landing at Dulles International Airport, according to Lufthansa. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to passengers. The air movements were called clear air turbulence, which could occur without visible weather phenomena and warning, he said.
The machine, which started in Austin, Texas, was caught in turbulence 90 minutes after takeoff. According to American media reports, the airport operator – the Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority – and the US aviation authority FAA announced that seven people were taken to hospitals.
