Passengers scream on Mallorca flight as plane hit by storm after P&O cruise ship crashed

Passengers screamed and cried on a flight between Alicante and Mallorca, Spain as the plane was hit by a storm on Sunday, 27 August. The footage was recorded by Estela Orts, who stars as Captain Scarlet in the famous Pirates show of Magaluf. Sharing the video of the incident on her Instagram, the Spanish dancer and acrobat said: "The plane started to fall. People and children [were] screaming, being sick, I couldn't help crying. I don't know how long that moment lasted but it felt eternal. Until the pilot managed to stabilise the plane, it was like a roller coaster." The fierce winds also caused a P&O cruise ship to collide with a freight vessel, injuring a small number of people, according to the cruise operator.
