No severe injuries were reported among passengers or crew on flight SK957, the airline said in a statement to CNN Friday.

According to reports, 254 passengers were flying in the plane.

After facing severe turbulence, the flight was rerouted to Copenhagen Airport in Denmark.

“Following such turbulence, standard safety procedures require a thorough inspection of the aircraft,” the statement said.

Several videos and images of the flight while it faced the turbulence have gone viral on the social media.

A passenger who shared a clip of the moment wrote: "Look at her feet touching the [ceiling]!"

"Thought we would die," the passenger wrote.

One passenger, Sammy Solstad, told CNN he feels lucky to be alive.

“Everyone on the plane was praying and asking to just land instead of flying over the open sea,” Solstad said Friday.

According to reports, passengers were kept in a hotel overnight and then booked to other flights.

What is Turbulence?

Turbulence is air movement that normally cannot be seen and often occurs unexpectedly. It can be created by many different conditions, including atmospheric pressure, jet streams, air around mountains, cold or warm weather fronts or thunderstorms. Turbulence can even occur when the sky appears to be clear, as per the Federal Aviation Administration website.

As per FAA data, from 2009 to 2023, 37 passengers and 146 crew members were severely injured due to turbulence.
