Passengers aboard flydubai flight FZ 1073 described a sudden descent as the aircraft approached the Jordanian border on Wednesday.
Almog Italie told AFP the sensation resembled severe turbulence, though he said there was no turbulence. He compared the experience to riding a rollercoaster.
France 24 reported the passengers’ accounts, including their description of the aircraft losing thousands of feet in seconds.
The available report does not establish why the aircraft lost altitude or independently verify the passengers’ descriptions against flight data.
