A number of Jet2 passengers were injured when an unsecured snack cart rolled from the back of the plane down the aisle during landing, hitting passengers’ legs and arms along the way.
The incident happened Sunday as the plane was flying into Belfast International Airport.
Though the passengers were only slightly injured, several onboard said the incident was terrifying because they “didn’t know what it was.”
