BA 8047 10 October 2000
Good evening
I was a passenger on the above service from LGW to JER operated by CityFlyer using an ATR 72. The flight was very rough and even the cabin crew were being sick.
We made 3 attempts to approach Jersey but failed on each occasion. We were informed that we were diverting to Southampton but we eventually crash-landed in Bournemouth. We were in the air for over 2 hours and the whole thing was the most terrifying experience in my life.
Does anyone out there know of this incident and can throw any light on what might have happened?
