Incident Overview
Description
A Boeing 737-800 of ANA, operating ANA/NH430 from Fukuoka to Osaka/Itami, suffered severe turbulence while cruising at FL270 over Ehime prefecture. The flight was continued and made a safe landing at Osaka/Itami at 20:09 LT. A cabin crew suffered a fracture of a part of her pelvis. The seat belt signs were off at the time of the turbulence. A developing low was located at about 200 km southeast of the accident site (992 hPa, 32N 135E at 21:00 local time/12:00 UTC). PROBABLE CAUSES It is probable that this accident occurred when the Aircraft shook during the flight in the clouds accompanied by the disturbance, and thereby one of the cabin crew members, who was not seated and floated in the air, was struck on the floor losing his or her balance, and sustained the injury.
