Ryanair flight from UK crashes into barrier leaving wing in shreds

Passengers were left in shock

The Ryanair flight was flying from London Stansted to Kalamata International Airport in Greece.

Flight FR6080 was being operated by a 737 Max 8 registered EI-HMZ and had reportedly suffered "severe turbulence" during the flight.

The plane landed safely in Greece, however, whilst taxiing the plane crashed into a barrier at the airport, shredding the end of its right wing.

Passengers described hearing a loud bang as the plane collided with the obstacle, as reported by The Sun.

Emergency services arrived quickly at the scene as passengers were told to stay onboard the aircraft despite concerns.

Images show the end of wing completed torn up by the collision.

A source told The Sun: “The flight took off from London Stansted on Wednesday morning and headed for Kalamata.

“There was severe turbulence during the flight, but it managed to land on the runway at Kalamata International.

"The crew said it was going to be a bumpy landing."

They added: “But while it was taxiing down the runway towards the red and white barrier at the end, the plane turned and everyone heard this loud banging sound.

"You could feel the impact.”

The source continued: “There was an announcement that everyone had to wait on the plane for the fire brigade.

“With the wing damaged the way it was, why wouldn’t you evacuate the plane first?

“Everyone was scared - it was the fact they said wait on the plane even though there was clearly a risk of fire."

The person also mentioned how it was "weird" that there "was no signal for seatbelts while there was turbulence" as the plane was coming in to land.

Ryanair have an impeccable safety record as an airline, never having an accident leading to a fatality and only having one hull-loss in its 40-year history.
