A shocking image has emerged that shows how two cabin crew members were left in neck braces after a flight hit severe turbulence on Saturday inflicting injuries on crew and passengers.
One of the crew members has blood on her shirt and was pictured separately with a huge gash on her forehead, before plasters were applied.
The severe turbulence rocked the Avianca Airbus they were on, flying from Lima in Peru to Buenos Aires in Argentina, at around 41,000ft and left 23 passengers and cabin crew members injured. One flier claimed it was 'a miracle that passengers survived'.
According to the Aviation Herald, the flight continued to Buenos Aires and landed safely about 80 minutes later.
Despite having damaged ceiling panels, the aircraft departed on a return flight six hours later.
According to a press release from Avianca the plane suffered 'from strong unexpected turbulence when passing over the Andes Mountain range around 1.11am'.
As it passed through a stretch of bad weather, the sudden jerks of the N279AV aircraft surprised those on board, including crew who were reportedly not wearing their safety belts at the time.
Although reports from the airport confirmed that 23 people received medical attention upon arrival, the airline detailed in its communication that 12 people were injured during the flight.
According to the airline, eight crew members and four passengers received knocks and injuries during the turbulence.

Wow! Stunning! Hilton seems to be taking Africa by storm. Just a couple of years back, they opened the first ever in Eswatini.
Wonderful event and topics discussed, hopefully we see the manifestations in our African airline businesses in the nearest future. Kudos to you all.
