WATCH: Violent Turbulence on Budget Airline During Storm Forces Emergency Landing

Passenger videos from inside the cabin show the plane rocking through storm clouds.

A Rome-bound Wizz Air Airbus A321 was forced to make an emergency landing in Bologna, Italy, about 250 miles from its destination Thursday morning due to wild turbulence. The aircraft had taken off from Alicante, a port city in southeastern Spain, before flying through a summer storm near Rome. Terrified passengers endured violent turbulence in the dark cabin as the pilots navigated the storm, which was captured on video and posted on TikTok. In the video, passengers scream in fright as the rocking aircraft maneuvers through thick storm clouds. According to Wizz Air representative Silvia Chiudinelli, no passengers were harmed and were entitled to refunds and ground transportation to Rome. “The airline thanks its pilots and cabin crew members for keeping everyone safe during the turbulence and for making the right decision to divert the flight to Bologna,” she wrote. Rome is still on severe alert for thunderstorms, according to Weather Underground. Summer heat and severe thunderstorms have scorched and drenched Italy and the rest of Europe this season. Just last month, flash floods pummeled the Passiria Valley in northern Italy, sweeping away cars, homes, and a bridge.
