An air hostess from Co. Meath is suing Aer Lingus following an allegedly very heavy landing in which she thought she was going to die.
Cassandra Reddin of Woodlands Manor in Ratoath said she thought the plane was going to overshoot the runway as it taxied along at an unusually high speed.
The 32-year-old told the High Court that the flight from Malaga to Dublin she was working on landed far too fast and hard.
"I thought we were all dead – that the aeroplane was not going to stop. I was shaking."
Ms. Reddin told the court how passengers' bottles smashed as the plane bounced along the runway, leaving many passengers screaming.
She tried to calm them down, as the flight has been 'rocking from side to side' and 'bumpy' on the approach to Dublin.
Ms. Reddin claims a senior cabin person told her afterwards 'not to mention what happened... because the co-pilot was mortified'.
She said she suffered back, neck and shoulder injuries on the flight and later developed panic attacks.
It had been Ms. Reddin's dream to work as cabin crew, and she has since moved to work in the airline's social media department.
