Tiffany Gomas, the Texas woman who went viral for her outburst on a commercial airline flight, has finally set the record straight on what she saw that led her to leave the flight distraught.
Passengers on an international flight experienced severe turbulence Tuesday, which left around 14 people injured.
The incident happened Tuesday morning on Emirates flight EK421 from Perth to Dubai when the plane began shaking violently, according to The West Australian.
Around 14 people were injured when the plane hit severe turbulence as the aircraft approached the Persian Gulf.
In a comment to the outlet, an Emirates spokesperson said the situation was “unfortunate.”
