Some Australian passengers were on board the latest flight to hit severe turbulence, this time a Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Dublin. Eight passengers have been taken to hospital after the flight experienced turbulence while flying over Turkey.

As Charlie Moloney reports, the incident occurred five days after a British man died of a suspected heart attack and dozens of people were injured when a Singapore Airlines flight from London encountered severe turbulence:

The plane just seemed to … stop, which it didn’t, but then dropped, quite a severe drop … and it was a little bit worrying each time we felt turbulence again, I was hanging on a bit tight to my husband.

But it was a really, really scary [experience].
