Inshorts was first to note that a Turkish Airlines flight encountered violent turbulence during its descent, failed to land three times in a storm, and reported no injuries despite passengers shouting, “We will die.” The initial report placed the incident on September 13 and framed the event as a dramatic but injury‑free encounter. Subsequent coverage from The Sun, Daily Express, Yahoo, FOX 13 Tampa Bay and Fox Business added vivid passenger reactions and descriptions.
No report has confirmed any casualty or damage, and all sources agree the flight eventually completed its approach. Current coverage leaves the aircraft’s final status unconfirmed beyond the absence of injuries.
