A Ryanair Boeing 737-800, registration EI-EKN performing flight
FR-8 from Berlin (Germany) to Milan Malpensa (Italy) with 179 passengers and 6 crew, was enroute at FL360 over Rosenheim (Germany), about 30nm southsoutheast of Munich (Germany) at about 20:25L (18:25Z) when the crew decided to divert after the aircraft had encountered severe turbulence causing 9 injuries on board. The weather at Munich Airport prevented a diversion to Munich, hence the crew diverted the aircraft to Memmingen (Germany), where the aircraft landed on runway 24 about 20 minutes later.
Local police reported 9 people on board received injuries, 3 of them were taken to hospitals, the others received treatment by paramedics at the airport. One woman complained about back pain, another woman received a laceration at her head, her child received contusions.
Passengers reported a mother with her toddler had just been in the toilet when the turbulence occurred, both mother and toddler received injuries. The fasten seat belt signs had not been on continuously, hence a number of passengers had not been strapped in.
At the time of the occurrence thunderstorms were over Bavaria including super cells.
