Severe Turbulence Forces Scandinavian Airlines Flight to Return to Europe

A Miami-bound flight experienced extreme turbulence over Greenland, prompting a return to Copenhagen for inspection.

The Scandinavian Airlines flight SK957 was traveling from Stockholm to Miami when it encountered severe turbulence over Greenland, causing a dramatic U-turn back to Europe.
The turbulence was so intense that passengers and objects were thrown into the air, as captured in viral social media videos showing the chaotic scene inside the cabin.
Despite the frightening experience, no severe injuries were reported among the 254 passengers and crew members on board.
The decision to return to Copenhagen was based on the availability of facilities and qualified staff for a thorough aircraft inspection, which were not available in Miami.
Passengers were provided with hotel accommodations and rebooked on other flights following the incident, ensuring their continued travel plans.
