Fortunately, there were no injuries here.

A particularly dramatic event occurred at the Ryanair machine, which circulated in the evening via Bavaria. Because of the violent storm and storm front, a safety landing at Memmingen Airport was necessary. The machine, which was on the way from Berlin to Milan, had 185 inmates, including 179 passengers and six crew members. Nine people were injured, with three of them, including a two -year -old child, had to go to the hospital. The weather conditions did not allow a further flight, which is why Ryanair Busse organized for the onward journey. The FAZ indicates that a crew member is also one of the injured.

In addition to the incidents in air traffic, flooded lanes occurred in Augsburg, which was caused by blocked Gullys. Several talented trees were registered in the Aichach-Friedberg district. A short, violent storm front also went down in Ulm, where there is suspicion of a tornado.
