Over the skies of Tunisia, a Turkish Airlines flight became a vessel of human vulnerability — passengers gripping armrests as the aircraft lurched through severe turbulence on approach to Tunis-Carthage International Airport. Three times the crew attempted to land; three times the conditions refused them. In choosing diversion over persistence, the flight crew enacted one of aviation's quietest forms of wisdom: knowing when to stop trying and find another way. No one was hurt, though fear, for a time, was the only certainty aboard.
