Scots mum in Storm Isha flight terror as passengers screamed and vomited in fear

A mum has told of her mid-air flight terror in the midst of Storm Isha as passengers screamed and vomited in fear.
Kirsty Findlay, 40, and her husband Mark, 42, were on their way home from a trip to Amsterdam when their Easyjet flight was battered by high winds.
Stomach-churning footage shared by the mum-of-one showed the plane shaking and rocking as it attempted to reach the runway at Glasgow airport in horror conditions at around 7pm on Sunday.
Kirsty, from Irvine, said the experience was so petrifying that Mark sat praying in his seat as passengers around them threw up in sick bags.
She told the Record: “It felt like the wind was in control of the plane. We felt helpless.
“It was really frightening. There were people around screaming, crying and being sick.
“My husband was actually praying out loud.”
Kirsty said the flight’s pilot said the storm’s conditions were the worst conditions he had ever experienced in all his years of flying.
Easyjet officials decided to abort the landing before the flight was diverted to Manchester.
Kirsty continued: "We didn’t actually realise how many times the flight had circled around Glasgow in the air until we later saw it on the flightradar app. It was crazy."
Kirsty and Mark had enjoyed a three day break in Amsterdam before their holiday ended in a nightmare.
Kirsty added: “We didn’t even expect our return flight to take off on Sunday because we were aware of the weather situation back home.
“Our nerves were shattered by the end of it all.”
The couple’s horror journey took place as multiple flights across Scotland struggled to land at their destinations due to high winds on Sunday night. Several routes had to be diverted or cancelled, causing significant disruption to passengers.
