The pilot’s windscreen cracked at 30,000ft
A plane has been forced to make an emergency landing after something really strange happened mid-flight high up in the air. An airplane bound for Bristol was forced to make an emergency landing after the pilot’s windscreen cracked at 30,000ft, Metro UK reports.
The Thomson plane from Gran Canaria was forced to ground in Portugal after the damage caused the plane to drop from 30,000ft to 10,000ft last night.
Shocking pictures show the windscreen with multiple cracks all over the screen.
The Thomson flight had been headed to Bristol from Gran Canaria
Speaking with the Bristol Post, a passenger said: ‘The cockpit windscreen was cracked so had to descend from 30,000ft to 10,000 before making an emergency landing.
‘We’ve been here about two hours now. Everyone is OK but a bit fed up as we are not really being told very much about what is going on other than being shunted from one part of the airport to the other.’
She added that they were told the plane had suffered a technical fault before landing, but saw the cracked windscreen when they disembarked the plane.
Thomson replied to Laura’s tweet by saying: ‘We are sorry for the circumstances and hope you can continue your flight home soon.’
