Man, people in the past DNGAF.

It's like they specifically said "land this thing as close to the camera as you can even if it means mowing down the guy behind it."

Can't have been too bad, if they got injured over Turkey but didn't land until Dublin 🤔

There's a video from someone walking through the empty airplane. Big blood stains on the ceiling in multiple places where people hit it, including in a galley area.

Looks like something out of a horror movie 😬

"One person has died, with several injured, after severe turbulence on a London to Singapore flight... One passenger says anyone not wearing a seatbelt was "launched into the ceiling"...Another says there were "so many injured people", including some with head wounds"

@ai6yr
Airline tracking websites have noted that the aircraft dropped around 1,800 metres in three minutes when it flew into the rough air beyond the Bay of Bengal.

Last year, a study by meteorologists at the University of Reading in the UK found that skies are up to 55 per cent bumpier than four decades ago due to climate change.

Es gibt keinen Grund nicht angeschnallt zu bleiben ausser man muss auf das WC. Ich musste manchmal aufstehen weil es mir übel wurde, unterdessen, falls ich fliegen wollte oder müsste - nur mit Medikamente, also grösstenteils angeschnallt bleiben. GMV
