A Malaysia Airlines flight from London to Kuala Lumpur hit severe turbulence on Sunday, with some passengers and crew suffering minor injuries.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH1, carrying 378 passengers and crew, experienced “a brief moment of severe turbulence” over the Bay of Bengal, the company said in a statement.

A “small number” of injured passengers and crew on the flight, an Airbus A380, were treated by medical officers on arrival on Sunday, the company added.

Photos shared on social media showed food strewn all over the aisle and cracks in overhead passenger units.
