Passengers post shocking images of chaos on plane that encounters 'severe intense turbulence'
Passengers on an Aerolíneas Argentinas from Miami to Buenos Aires Thursday posted turbulence.
Images going viral on Twitter show food thrown to the floor of the plane, oxygen masks dangling from above
At least 15 people were injured during "severe intense turbulence" during the eight-hour flight, the company said in a statement. Some passengers were treated on the plane and eight people were taken to the hospital when it was ministro Pistarini International Airport Thursday evening.
"The incident occurred in the so-called 'cruise' phase and was reported by the commander in charge of the aircraft," the statement said. "The company arranged its medical team at the arrival of those passengers who suffered because of these sudden occurrences because of this type of atmospheric conditions."
ALSO: Woman brings 'emotional support' squirrel on plane. That does not fly with Frontier
Mild turbulence is common during a flight and occurs when two air masses of different temperatures or different speed collide. More intense turbulence, as experienced on the Aerolineas Argentinas flight, is less common and can "produce sudden movements in the aircraft, although they do not have the safety of the flight," the statement said.
