Passengers aboard Air Europa flight UX045 on July 1st found themselves thrust into a harrowing ordeal as severe turbulence rocked their journey from Madrid to Montevideo, Uruguay. The calm of the transatlantic flight shattered when the aircraft encountered turbulent conditions, prompting an emergency diversion to Natal Airport in northeastern Brazil.

Amidst the chaos, 30 passengers sustained minor injuries, with local health authorities swiftly attending to their needs upon landing. Accounts from those aboard painted a picture of sudden terror: Uruguayan passenger Stevan described a "horrible feeling," while Maximiliano recounted the plane lurching into a dive, causing unsecured passengers to collide with the ceiling.

The emergency landing, executed at 2:32 a.m. local time, marked a critical moment of relief as the aircraft touched down safely. Despite the disruption, Air Europa promptly arranged for a replacement flight from Madrid to retrieve passengers and resume their journey to Uruguay, emphasizing safety and swift recovery for those affected by the turbulent ordeal.
