An announcement was made shortly after take-off, on 23 August, that the flight was experiencing some turbulence.
But the situation became more serious when an engine stopped working and the crew had to consider an emergency landing.
The pilot of the Boeing 737 then joked with passengers that, although there would be an emergency landing, at least they would have the chance to visit Venice.
He said we would have to make a crash landing at sea and warned us there could be an explosion.
Everyone was terrified, even the cabin crew. One steward was in a state of total panic and another just went pale and silent
When the pilot next came on he was crying. He said we had six minutes before we would crash, but that we should not panic. People were screaming out at the back of the plane.
