**Copenhagen, Denmark** – A Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) flight from Copenhagen to Miami made an emergency return to Copenhagen after experiencing severe turbulence over Greenland, sending passengers and luggage airborne. Flight SK957, carrying 254 passengers, encountered the unexpected turbulence, forcing the pilot to divert the aircraft.
Video footage captured by passenger Sammy Solstad, a YouTuber, shows the chaotic scene inside the cabin as passengers were tossed around, with one woman reportedly thrown onto the ceiling. Solstad’s video, which has since gone viral, depicts screaming passengers and flying objects. He recounted how he had to help a passenger who had been thrown to the floor by the force of the turbulence.
Solstad reported that despite being close enough to make an emergency landing in Canada, the flight was diverted back to Copenhagen, resulting in a five-hour flight over the open ocean. He expressed concern over the decision, stating that the passengers were forced to spend five hours on a potentially compromised aircraft instead of making a quicker emergency landing.
While SAS confirmed the incident in a statement to CNN, noting that passengers were provided with hotel accommodations and assistance with rebooking, they did not immediately respond to a request for comment from FOX Business. The airline reported no injuries. The aircraft is undergoing inspection in Copenhagen. The incident highlights the unpredictable nature of air travel and the potential dangers of severe turbulence.
