While panicked passengers were still onboard, a RYANAIR plane slammed into a barrier and suffered a severely damaged wing after landing at a Greek airport.
The passengers heard a loud crash as the Boeing 737 landed and struck a barrier after experiencing "severe turbulence" during the flight.
Just prior to the unexpected collision, Wednesday morning's flight FR6080, which was leaving from London Stansted, made a safe landing at Kalamata International Airport.

After the wing wipeout, terrified passengers were advised to remain on the aeroplane despite fire worries, leaving those on board "baffled." Emergency services were swiftly called in.
The Ryanair aircraft has significant damage, according to photos The Sun was able to obtain.
The hard barrier is seen tearing off the aircraft's wing.
According to a source who spoke to The Sun, the flight left London Stansted on Wednesday morning and made its way to Kalamata.
Even though the flight experienced extreme turbulence, it was able to touch down on Kalamata International's runway.
"The crew said it was going to be a bumpy landing."
They continued: "But the plane turned and everyone heard this loud banging sound as it was taxiing down the runway towards the red and white barrier at the end."
"The impact was felt by you."
The impact of the barrier collision destroyed the wing, but the flight crew instructed "scared" passengers to stay inside.
The source went on to say: "Everyone was told to wait for the fire department on the aircraft.

Why wouldn't you evacuate the aircraft first, given the state of the wing damage?
"The fact that they told everyone to wait on the plane despite the obvious fire risk made everyone extremely afraid."Additionally, they stated that discussions regarding "how weird it was that there was no signal for seatbelts while there was turbulence" during the descent had already begun.
This flight from London Stansted to Kalamata (18 June) was taxiing to stand when the wing tip struck a fence at Kalamata Airport, Ryanair told The Sun.
"The aircraft subsequently continued to stand, and passengers disembarked normally."They further mentioned that the flight had already resumed its return to Stansted after undergoing repairs."The aircraft then underwent the required inspections and maintenance prior to its return to service," claimed the airline.
