Qatar Airways flight plunges 1,000 feet on trip from Doha to Copenhagen – The National

Qatar Airways said it was carrying out an investigation following reports of a pilot losing control and causing a plane to plummet 1,000 feet (304 metres) on a recent flight from Doha to Copenhagen.

The Aviation Herald, a website that reports accidents and incidents in commercial aviation, said how a Boeing 787-8 lost 1,000 feet moments after taking off from Doha on its way to Copenhagen last month.

The plane continued to fall for 24 seconds before climbing again when it was 850 feet above the ground.
