An EasyJet flight was forced to divert after one of the pilots had a medical emergency
A passenger recalled the terrifying moment their flight was forced to make an emergency landing after being diverted. The easyJet flight had been travelling from Hurghada in Egypt to Manchester when one of the pilots had a medical emergency.
The passenger, who did not want to be named, told the Manchester Evening News that they had been around two hours into the flight when they realised something was wrong. Cabin crew had been serving drinks when the passenger recalled seeing them rush to the front of the plane where a man had collapsed.
The terrified passengers were then told they would need to make an emergency landing. "The ride began to get very rough & scary and as we approached the runway we were welcomed with lots of emergency services such as fire engines, police, and ambulances all lined along the runway." "We could have waited up to 2 hours for a free coach or start making our own way but have to pay each trip ourselves," said the passenger. "As you can imagine everyone is extremely tired at this point and everyone started to gather outside booking taxis."
