Earlier, a technical issue had led a Auckland-bound LATAM Airlines flight from Sydney to nosedive suddenly causing strong turbulence inside the flight, injuring at least 50 passengers onboard.

Reportedly, the turbulence was so severe that a few passengers and crew members onboard the aircraft bumped into the ceiling after the flight experienced sudden altitude drop. A video of the incident later went viral, which was recorded by one of the passengers onboard the flight.
