Eden will never be able to return to her 'dream job' after a sudden hail storm saw the plane soar 500ft in 90 seconds, pinning her to the floor

An air hostess left unable to do her dream job after breaking her leg in seven places during severe turbulence has won a six-figure payout. Eden Garrity, 31, was pushing a trolley as the Thomas Cook flight from Cuba to Manchester entered a violent Atlantic hail storm.

“I feel lost, I’ve got a family and a son and it is great, but I’m very restricted in terms of what I can do. I miss making memories, seeing different countries. If not for the accident I’d have been able to fly in the future and it’s horrible. Eden needed surgery to insert screws and metal plates inside her leg, as well as a huge external metal brace, and couldn't walk for two months. The aircraft had taken a detour of around 100 miles to avoid adverse weather conditions as it crossed the Atlantic in August 2019.

"I wasn’t particularly academic, and I didn’t go to university, but when the opportunity to become an air hostess came my way, I felt like I had found my path in life. I absolutely loved my job, and I knew I had found my calling, so to speak. ”It was absolutely terrifying. The plane shot up 500ft within seconds. The force of the turbulence pinned me to the ground and forced me towards the floor.
