SpiceJet India: 'The plane began bouncing up and down like a ball'
At least 17 people were injured on board a SpiceJet flight in India after the plane hit severe turbulence before landing on Sunday evening. The Boeing 737, carrying about 200 passengers and crew, was travelling from Mumbai to Durgapur. Amit Baul, who was on the flight, recounts the ordeal. (www.bbc.com) Daha Fazlası...

"It was a warm Sunday evening in Mumbai"...???....is this a news article or the beginning of a Jason Bourne novel?
I think it’s tragic that in 2022 people still don’t fathom that they’re in a tube flying at 500 mph with nothing between their ass and the ground, 5 miles below them. My old comment still applies, treat them like a Disney children’s ride, and force buckle them all in?
MH370 wants you to know that turbulence only happens to Boeing aircraft. I want you to know that MH370 is an idiot.
Give it a rest You idiot, CAT Is not an exclusive Boeing 'feature'!
I've been involved in a situation similar to this, but not as severe. Flying from YUM to FAI, about an hour out at cruising, the plane suddenly dropped (free-fall) a few feet. Clear-air turbulence. The end of the fall was so sudden, the aircraft felt like it hit a solid surface. Everything that was on the bottom of the passenger cabin ended up on the ceiling. This included people and two drink carts. There were a few injuries, but nothing as severe as was described in this article. You'll never find me without a seat belt on after THAT.
Similar thing happened to my flight two weeks after 9/11. Flying to an Army Conference, the flight was in the approach to ATL over the city when it dropped what seemed like several hundred feet but was probably only around a hundred or so. Being so close after 9/11, everyone naturally thought the worst…..
Previously flying into SeaTac during a Winter storm, again on the approach; the plane dipped left-right, up-down; & probably a few directions not yet invented.
