On a stormy Wednesday evening, an IndiGo flight from Delhi to Srinagar found itself in a bit of a pickle when it encountered a sudden hailstorm mid-air. The poor ol’ flight 6E 2142 was just minding its own business, cruising along, when bam! Hailstones started pelting down, causing some serious damage to the aircraft. But fear not, dear passengers, for the flight and cabin crew were on top of things, following all the rules and making sure everyone landed safely in Srinagar.
As the flight, 6E 2142, was getting closer to Srinagar, it ran into some intense weather action. Hailstones came crashing down on the poor plane as it made its descent, leading to what the airline called “weather-related damage” to the nose section. Yeah, you heard that right – the poor plane’s nose took a beating from those pesky hailstones.
In a statement that sounded all official and fancy, IndiGo mentioned how the crew did their thing and landed the aircraft safely in Srinagar. Kudos to them for keeping their cool during the chaos! But hey, the plane did sustain some damage to its nose section, also known as the radome. It’s like the plane got a little battle scar from the hailstones, you know? But no worries, folks, no injuries were reported, even though things got a bit bumpy inside the cabin. And guess what? There’s a viral video floating around showing just how crazy it got in there – the plane was shaking like a leaf in the wind! But hey, at least everyone made it out okay, right?
After landing, the IndiGo airport crew swooped in to take care of the passengers, making sure they were all good and comfy. It’s like they were the heroes of the day, ensuring everyone’s wellbeing after that wild ride. The aircraft is now chilling in Srinagar, waiting for a thorough inspection. IndiGo mentioned how the plane will be back in action once it gets all the necessary checks and maintenance done. So, all’s well that ends well, right? Or at least that’s what we hope!
