Hmmm: BIG WORRIES for new CP

Virgin plane suffers two mid-air incidents, one resulting in woman breaking leg

An investigation is underway into a flight that left a Virgin Australia crew member with a broken leg, and another incident involving the same plane a few days later.
The female crew member was injured when the ATR-72 turbo prop encountered severe turbulence on a flight from Canberra to Sydney last month.
Virgin says the plane was inspected by an engineer and cleared to fly.
Five days later, during a flight to Albury in New South Wales, the pilot reported a possible bird strike.
He later found the aircraft had been damaged.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau says the plane remains on the ground at Albury.
The bureau is interviewing crew and maintenance personnel and examining the flight recorder.
