- Part of the video I recorded below was shown on Channel 4- UK series "Terror in the Skies". Aired on 30 June 2013.
link: • Turbulence on flight B...
===============
Less than an hour into the flight and as we were about to be served our first meal. We were flying over the border region of Argentina/Uruguay/Brazil.
The heavy turbulance lasted for an excrutiating 10 minutes.
The pilot told us it was the worst case he experienced in his 30 years career...but he only admitted to that after we safely landed in London 11 hours later. - เพลง
I usually stare out the window to make sure the wings remain attached.
Don’t worry.....if the wings detach...you’ll know it pretty quickly.
I also look out of the window to check if its cloudy or not as cloud makes an airplane more turbulent.
@@Sonuk90 Actually you can also have “clear air turbulence” which can be very violent and throw people to the ceiling and across the aisles.
Free rollercoaster
@@Jim-vn3gt I was on a crazy flight like that. Bangkok Airways flight from Bangkok to Chiang Mai on one of their Airbus A319 aircraft. I had a window seat.... we flew through huge dark fluffy clouds approaching Chiang Mai and wow.... crazy mad roller coaster ride...ha, ha, ha. Lots of “air time” when we were falling.... weightless moments. 🤣😂
This proves how well designed and how well made these planes are.
Thanks to all who work hard to achieve this and allow us to travel safely.
Too right!!
your welcome
왜 임마 간혹 그런거 처럼 애초에 비상이면 다 불 꺼지고 비상등 켜지고 창문 다 검게돼. ㅋ
Right.
Well said thank you from someone who has an acute fear of flying
Those passengers were calmer and more composed than I was watching this!
Plain and simple: no matter how safe it is, the plane feels like it’s going to crash and that’s freaking scary!
You ain't never lied....
Point blank period
Turbulência não derruba avião.
Plain and simple: no matter how safe it is, YOU feel like it’s going to crash and that’s freaking scary!
Yesss😭😭😭😭😭😭🤦🏽♀️
Why am I finding myself binge watching these videos right before flights? 😅
It’s just the human thing
Same😅
Same happens to me too
when im tucked up in bed too!
The moment when your telling yourself that your never flying again!
Everytime i tell myself that
I know what you mean !
NEVER‼️
Me jaja
Line Dancer never?
Amazing how calm all the passengers were, especially the children. No screaming, no yelling or crying.
They are Professionals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿
I worked as a flight attendant for many years and planes can handle this and even worst turbulence sometimes a few passengers can scare a complete cabin full and get women and children crying that alone is harder to handle than turbulence.
lol no kidding. I’m crying just watching this. I can’t imagine going through turbulence this bad. I absolutely hate flying. If I didn’t live on the other side of the world from my family, I’d never fly again. And how you flight attendants do it all the time, I’ll never know.
I've travelled two times a year and we travelling anywhere,,,I'm not encountered like this trip
@@tg3307 I mean many people want to work as flight crew or pilots, at least become a pilot yourself as a hobby if not as a career on passenger flights
What do you do now in life my dear
@@tg3307 so damn true. Every flight i get on I always wonder how flight attendants and pilots handle having a job like this. Im scared to death every flight 🤦🏻♀️
Boy am I glad Im watching this from my comfy bed :)
Same
same3
Porque hablan en ingles boludos? si son de argentina jaja que gente dios
lol
omg same
I'm only worried when the flight attendant looks worried.
Why? Do they know when/if the plane will fall apart? Engineers dont even know that!
hickoryhop Same! When I experienced the worst turbulence of my life the flight attendant went down the aisles looking more annoyed than frightened. She actually held my hand and I appreciated that more than anything.
On another flight we were on a small plane and they looked terrified lol
hickoryhop I say a good time to start worrying is when the flight attendants start giving the bracing for impact instructions. That awful chant they do, BRACE BRACE BRACE BRACE BEACE. That's when I would worry.
The time to worry is when oxygen masks start dropping down randomly and overhead compartments pop open. :-)
A flight attendant speaking: The shaking occurs when the aircraft goes through a cloudy weather. So no worries when the plane passes through an area of turbulence next time 😉
The key to avoid turbulence when traveling is to always book a flight that departs at least 30 min after another flight on the same route. Because if there is turbulence on route, the first planes flight computer will relay the info to the flight path database and the next planes will be routed around or over/under the turbulence.
How can i be sure that the craft will fly the same route? I mean departure destination is self explanatory but will they fly exactly on the same path?
The difficulty is also that there are just not many airlines that go on direct flights from lets say bangkok to vienna.
What i would also say is, choose big aircrafts and nightflights
Utter nonsense, you have no idea what you are talking about.
😅😅
Yes, wake turbulence
They were flying through clouds, thus the turbulence. Wake turbulence only applies when one plane is far far closer to an airplane in front of it than 30 minutes.
Goodness... I can barely handle a small bumpy turbulence, let along at this severity AND how long it lasted my gosh I can't even
During turbulence like this I reflect on my life and all the things I could have done better, the things I should never have done, and who I could have been. I then swear I will do better if the plane does not crash and I get to live. Oh well.
+rtrain67 haha planes almost never fall down !
Haha this made me laugh. i do the same!
I just become self conscious of how thankful I should be while I'm living my every day life outside a plane.
+rtrain67 Me too, exactly
+rtrain67 Ridiculous. Get a grip. You are at greater danger - much greater - standing at a corner crosswalk waiting for the light to change.
I think what would help a lot of anxious people is hearing something from the pilots more often. I know they have a lot on their minds while flying a plane, and talking to the passengers would be a distraction, but simply saying "hey guys we're hitting turbulence but everything is fine" would calm everyone down. On every flight I've been on there has been turbulence, never heavy but sometimes mild, and I've never EVER heard a word from the pilots or the crew, neither before we hit turbulence, nor while the plane was shaking nor when the turbulence stopped. You hear them give their speech at the beginning of the flight and then they disappear until the plane touches down
yep, I am pretty sure they are busy but they should definitely do this - it will help a lot to all passengers.
I agree with you.I always want these words.
I'd rather the pilots just focus 100% of their attention on flying the plane. Anything they do in addition to that - including making an announcement to the passengers - distracts them from the most important task at hand.
It's the same when prepared to crash!! They stay quiet 🤫
Amen!
Судя по тому , что это видео увидели , вы долетели благополучно . Крепкого здоровья и всего самого наилучшего.
Stop with RUZZIAN crap. LATIN LETTERS PLS.
I recently got over my fear of flying last year when I went on my first ever flight to San Juan from Newark (ewr) , and I loved every minute of it and couldn’t wait to fly back . There was minor turbulence but only when we went through clouds. I’m guessing clouds are the speed bumps and potholes of the skies. Knowing how dramatic I can get , I probably would’ve been hollering on this flight . Lol
The moment you realize that's your outbound flight and you still have the return flight pending 👁️👄👁️
It has happened to me. I booked my return in train.
…..and paid for that return flight upfront haha
J'aime le flan au chocolat! And you do you like?
@@Sonuk90 I did the same last year. The plane did a drop and I did not catch my retuning flight, I took the Amtrak train instead 😂😂
@@Sonuk90 LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
always when u think its over it starts again
I HATE THIS
The worst turbulence I ever encountered was on approach to Atlanta via Tampa. I was on a 717 Air tran at the time. We dropped 300 ft during a storm it literally felt like being in an elevator that was free falling. I still remember the pilot jockeying the engine's. In fact, we were the last aircraft in before they closed the Airport down.
how do you know it was 300 ft? did the pilot inform?
@@dreamthedream8929 It was 318ft 6 1/2 inches.
@@Bob31415 LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
That was friggin scary. Kudos to the pilots, the passengeers, and of course to the plane itself!
Shoutout to the plane lol
Lol 😂@@shutitdown7069
I don't mind Turbulence, but holy fuck once the plane has that drop feeling that's what scares the shit outta me.
Same! I hate it so much
Dude, that shit is fucking scaring, i feel like the engines failed and the plane is falling lol.
Josh Larry o pl vufl nnnb
To cope, clench abs, tilt head sideways and take long deep breaths
The feeling of dropping and going back up is the result of the plane slowing down anf speeding up and losing/gaining lift usually due to the pilot trying to get to the right altitude to land
Regardless of how safe they say you are during turbulence, its still such a frightening experience!
It is. When the whole flight is going smooth, and then suddenly the plane is bouncing around, it is a very awkward and unsettling feeling.
I hate turbulence not cause I fear a crash but cause I just hate the feeling so much. Car, train, boat rides can all be super bumpy but there's just something about bouncing in open air that really sucks
And unpleasant. Passengers on this flight were surprisingly calm, it looked anything but fun. The turbulence seemed to last for ages..: (
@@catherineolivia1 Just saw your comment. Passengers were definitely not calm, but they did not express their fears. My tip for turbulence: look at the stewardeses. If they panic, then it's bad.
@@denisaconstantinescu6576 Hats off to them. Must have been super scary.
The worse turbulence I ever went through was from Toronto to London Heathrow. The plane left an hour late because the weather was so bad that the flight crew arrived late. We still took off and for 3 hours we bounced around. It was the worse turbulence I have ever been in. Two people had heart attacks and the tail winds were so strong that we ended up doing the flight in 5 hours. Somewhere over the mid-Atlantic it was over and the flight attendants didn't even ask people what they wanted to drink. They threw mini bottles around. We landed and ambulances came to the plane and removed the heart attack victims. We don't know what happened to them. I have never been so afraid in all of my life.
Oh my gosh that sounds crazy. 2 heart attacks :(
Internet = Portougale
This is what I'm afraid of yoo
Ce oroare sa fii intr.o continua spaima gandidu.te inclusiv ce te asteapta , miartea sau o sa mai apuc sa scap de aici!!!?groaznic, dar totul e bine cand se termina cu bine
Cannot live in fear.
Imagine hearing the captain say “ ladies and gentlemen this is your captain speaking. Please use the time now to say your final 🙏 prayer”
Wow, that's some pretty rough turbulence.
Damn it, why do I watch these videos just before I fly, I'm such a masochist.
MustardMan69 sameeeeee😂😂😂 always before flying
Lol hope u still on this earth
MustardMan69 how did that flight go sir.
You are not the only one!!!
MustardMan69 same as well
Shout out to the cameraman who focused on his job of filming in spite of the conditions.
@@sweetsunnyvibes pretty sure its a joke 😂
Cameraman never dies
Judging from the map, that is one of those typical areas for turbulence- The tropical convergence zone.
Everyone seems so calm its amazing id honestly be crying lol
I've flown a lot and the worst turbulence I've experienced is over the North Atlantic to and from Europe. It can be uncomfortable, but I take comfort in knowing that most pilots consider turbulence more of a nuisance than an actual safety issue. However, there is something unsettling for me about not being in control and on a long flight all you really want to do is get home.
Justin Hopkins you'll find coming towards Europe is usually more bumpy than going to the US
PA28 That's the jet stream for you.
what part of Europe did you fly to? I went to Spain and had like no turbulence
ogbkballa Typically London, or Frankfurt.
Justin Hopkins yea thats further north from where I go possibly why youve gotten more turbulence also depends on the time of year winter is the worst time to fly the NAT
The moment you start confessing all your sins.
Totally true my brother
No this is enough to start wishing you had committed all your sins!!! During a medical diversion is when you start confessing your sins trust me. Real life or death for the passenger involved and that’s not because it’s guys like me who have to fly the plane!
Yes
And after that you land back safely and people are now watching you 😑😑
I start repenting when I buy my ticket!
OMG, I would have died if I was in this plane. I have gone through rough turbulence but this is unbearable. I would have never been able to be a pilot or flight attendant. My respect to these professionals that put their lives on the line every day.
hello pilot here , lives in the line ? 😅
it is noteworthy that pilots and flight attendants do not consider this a risk. some people can't live without the sky
I don’t envy them
That seat belt tightening was classic!
"Are you checking in any hand luggage sir"
"Yeh, this big fucking parachute"
I fly from London to Australia 3 times a year. So you can imagine I'm a frequent flyer. My worst experience with turbulence was last year - flying from Melbourne to Dubai (the stop over) The turbulence went on for a good 2 and a half hours. The plane was constantly shaking and dropping. Some people were praying. Others were putting their hands in the air. Bags were falling from the overhead lockers on to the cabin ground, cups of water were falling. And it was by far the most terrifying moment of my life, when we landed everyone started cheering and clapping
Oh! That's severe turbulence!
I've experienced the same, but on the flight from Curacao to Amsterdam where turbulence lasted 9 hours long and severe turbulenced occured too.
Any jobs
let me guess - over the Bay of Bengal?
I’ve been on a few like that myself!!! Nothing like it when the plane stops and the whole crowd cheers the pilot!
Crazy bro
I fly quite a lot, but every time this happens, my life flashes before my eyes
Thanks for this! Brilliantly shot, I'm scared & I'm safe on the ground.
You can hear a scared child on the background and a woman, maybe the mom, reassuring him/her all the time "ya va a pasar, no pasa nada" (it's almost over, it's alright). I'm a nervous flyer and not sure I would be able to stay that calmed for my child if we were through such awful turbulence. She did great.
The most horrifying part of this video is the thought of being on a plane for the entire distance from Buenos Aires to London. That's one long flight.
+spaceye I've flown paris - santiago which is even further.
+spaceye try Johannesburg to Atlanta. . . .
Antarctica in the west side-- North Pole east side--- 48 hour flight for ya
Try NYC to Mars. That's a long ass flight. Bitches.
Try NYC to Mars. That's a long ass flight. Bitches.
These People Are So Calm, No Screaming, No Crying !!
Violent turbulence makes you realize your mortality and question your vacation choices.
The worse part of flying during turbulence is not having the option to say, OK I’m done, let me out!!…you just have to suck it up and wait for the best!😣😣😣😫
This true all the time i wana say let me down but im stuck inside
No the worst part about turbulence is sometimes they won’t serve drinks. That’s what really gets me
I don’t mind some shaking. What I really hate is when the plane “drops.”
Barbara Vyse .
There's usually a drop when flying in to Las Vegas I guess it's the way the mountains are it was scary first time but not now
when it starts shaking, the worst thing to me is not the drop itself but the wait for the plane to drop.
I hate that drop feeling 😣 then you feel it pulling back up higher.
usually the “drops” are caused by updrafts in clouds. basically plane shoots up, then the autopilot fights that bc it’s trying to maintain whatever altitude is set by pushing the plane back down. feels scary but you’re 100% safe
Two years ago was on a flight from El Paso to Atlanta and we hit the 'invisible' turbulence. Was a very clear day. It was approximately 45 minutes of just ugly turbulence. After we got out of it, dude next to me goes, "you were scared weren't you" and I replied "a little, why" and he says "you were cursing a lot". The captain actually visited with each passenger making sure they were ok. People were crying and apparently I was cursing a lot.
During the 90's I used to cross the Atlantic twice per year on average and NEVER experienced a turbulence not even a light one yet since EL NINO in 1997 I experienced a few across Europe but never above moderate (which was already scary). I sincerely express my compassion for those who have experienced a severe/extreme one
The air flows are really changing!
I'm looking at your comment in disbelief. Exactly my feelings. Years ago: I do not remember turbulence. Mean; sometimes, for a moment, airplane would shake and that would be that. Ultimately; it's getting plain scary.
@@peter58peter The average commercial jet is travelling a lot faster than 20 years ago, gotta figure that in.
True.@@laserflexr6321
Yes I also think the turbulence has gotten crazy worse !
Maybe climate change has got to do with it. Thicker cloud formations that stay dormant and cause rains for extended period. And by bad luck if it is encountered over flying
I remember a flight from Sao Paulo to Dallas. Middle of the night flying across the Amazon region. Calm and sleepy. No warning and the 767 immediately dropped like being thrown down an elevator shaft. The screams. It was like the air around the aircraft disappeared. It was only like 4 seconds of pure drop but was unforgettable.
Damn...
😶😲😢😢😢☹☹☹
it happened to me as well. flying back from Brunei to London, above the ocean before entering Vietnam airspace. But shorter than 4 seconds. I think I would freak out if it lasted that long.
haha I has a similar experience on a copa flight from LA to panama city. the plane simply dropped for a minute or so… the the plane tilded almost verticallly. I was in shock completely.
@@joshualucas I think we lost a headwind or hit the edge of a jet stream. We just lost lift completely until the pilots spooled up the engines to counteract. We were probably at 35,000 feet or higher.
Pilots never get enough credit for keeping the aircraft safe in dangerous weather conditions like this
you know the plane is most likely on autopilot it’s balancing the turbulence out itself and the pilots are relaxing drinking coffee😂
@@natalialabuda4944 think, the Pilots are not even relaxed in turbulence condition.
@@heidijaeger2947how do you know this?
"NOTHING TO FEEL WORRIED ABOUT. JUST FLYING THROUGH SOME CLOUDS." that was what the qantas captain said on the PA system whilst the plane was being tossed about like caesar's salad. flight was from syd to melb
Que tranquilidade desse pessoal a bordo dessa aeronave com destino a Londres,se eu tivesse nesse voo já teria enfartado
I would have passed out.
Sory ale to tylko tak tragicznie wygląda nagranie z telefonu wystarczy mala turbulencja a jak trzymasz telefon w ręce to zawsze to tak strasznie wygląda może nawet nie być turbulencji a jak zaczniesz ruszać ręką z telefonem to tak to wygląda
@@michalomorczyk7858🤦🏻♂️
I experienced something like this from Australia to Korea. The worst parts are when it suddenly drops and everyone gasps
holy shit same once a turbulence came to my flight and everything dropped lol
Ikr, i had to experience a little girl crying which was way worse!!
+Idunnolol It mostly happens when the plane flies near the Ayers rock.
And the darling on the cake!
I can't stand turbulence on planes, every time it happens I think I'm gonna die 😞
No plane has ever gone down from turbulence (knock on wood) there's a little known fact for you. You'll be fine. They're made to go through situations like this.
Or something is going to come lose, like an engine, or a wing.
+Xtragicfever WTF
I don't care for heights and feel pretty tense during a flight. Yet, ironically, I find turbulence comforting. I suppose it is because when a flight is going smooth, you are stuck waiting for something potentially bad to happen. So naturally you start imagining scenarios. Whereas when turbulence is hitting the plane you just sort of go with it. But hey, that's me lol.
Me too... So Hard
I fly a lot and I still hate turbulence. My biggest fear is having a heart attack. Everyone is so calm.
NSA + FSB = MI12
My heart was in my mouth just watching your video.
Holy Christ! If I were on a plane that shook like that, I would die of a heart attack before anything else.
Whoever took this video has a turbulence in his hands..
I remember when CAROL BURNETT did a skit on No Frills Airlines with Tim Conway..
She give the full fare lady a nice steak dinner but with Tim Conway
A PB&J😄
when they hit turbulence she had the full fare women bounce a little, but with Tim Conway, it looked like he rode a mechanical bull🤣and barely staying on😂

Been watching this video on and off for months now credit to everyone for remaining so calm
Wow my heart is beating and I'm not even on that plane. I've experienced turbulence before and it was scary and not as bad as this! 😬
Dear Lord. Thank god everyone is safe and the plane landed safely. I can’t imagine how they all must be feeling. I’m crying just watching this video.
Amen
if you are crying from this you have an emotional disorder that probably should be treated by a professional.
I hate those people who sit through turbulence and don't give a shit about it, meanwhile I'm gripping my leg so hard it hurts and clenching my teeth :(
+Eadric Shannon its normal part of flying. I've gone transatlanctic flights before and they're common
Working Class Socialist that’s exactly me lol. Airplanes were meant to fly, if they weren’t meant to resist such conditions they wouldn’t be there
😂😂
I grip the seat in front of me, as if that's going to help.
A bit like me.....only I am up front in the cockpit flying the airplane. Rose colored sunglasses help with all the shrieking and yelling.
At least your were buckled in your seat. I was sitting on the toilet. Downdrafts are the worst. My body lifted into the air, I landed on the floor. Flight attendant banging on the door, "Are you alright it there?".
loool ... it happened almost the same to me once
omfg that's so unlucky, almost had that on a thomas cook dreamliner, with extreme turbulence over the atlantic, i got out of there as soon as the seatbelt light came on XD
omg that's actually hilarious.. I remember one time I was in the bathroom when I was little and we hit a teeny bit of turbulance and I flipped out and I didn't know how to open the door XD
I'm sorry but I'm actually pissing myself after reading that hahahahha!
They should have seat belts on the toilet!
I AM SURPRISED OF HOW THE PEOPLE CAN STAY SO CALM.....
I WENT THROUGH THE SAME THING YEARS AGO AND SINCE THEN, I STOPPED USING AIRPLANES....
I was once on a plane sitting in a window seat during some terrible turbulence.
All of a sudden this flying creature / Gremlin landed on the wing and started to tear it apart and pulverise the engine.
Sensing danger and feeling naturally protective of my fellow passengers, I smashed the window with a fire extinguisher and pulled out a .38 which I had successfully managed to wrestle from a sky marshal and shot this mythical creature thus saving everyone on the flight.
I write this from my padded cell in Chicago.
That cabin must've smelled really bad from all the people who pooped themselves.
I had a bad night flight from Memphis, Tn to Atlanta, Ga a few years back. It was on a regional jet. Maybe 30-40 seats. The plane was mostly empty with maybe 10 passengers. After boarding, the pilot announced that we would be going through turbulance and that there would be no drinks or snacks served and that we needed to stay seated for the entire flight. After this announcement, two guys sitting next to each other seated behind me and on the opposite side of the plane were joking about how fun it was going to be. Saying things like "it will be just like a roller coaster". Both their wives were sitting together in the next row up from them were telling them to be quiet.
It was less than an hour flight, but it was by far the worst flight I have ever been on. The turbulance started maybe 15 minutes after we took off until maybe 5 minutes before we landed. The plane went through drops, bumps, up, down, and even felt like it was moving sideways at times. I was sick as a dog, seriously thought I was about to die, and no one was saying anything. About 30 minutes into the flight, I glanced back at the two couples to see if the guys were enjoying themselves as much as they had boasted before we took off. They were both sitting with their eyes barely visible looking over their wives seats. They both were pale as sheets and had their hands gripping the tops of thier wives seats in a death grip. They looked as scared as everyone else and both of their wives were holding hands and staring at the floor. If I had not been so scared and sick, I guess I might have gotten a bit of satisfaction at seeing the two fellows in that state. When we landed, all of us clapped and while we were waiting to get off the plane, the pilot rang the stewardess to make sure she and the passengers were all OK. As we all got up to get our carry-ons, the stewardess told me that it was the worst turbulance she had ever experienced and that the pilot said the same thing. Turbulance sucks!
i almost died laughing LMFAO thank you
this is exactly what happened to me on my very first flight, with the sickness and all, can u imagine? It traumatized me badly.
I hope u didn't have a return flight lmao I would've refused lmao.
😂😂😂 They said it would be fun!
For some reason flights from TN to Atlanta are always bad.
Those jet engines sound and the rush of air outside are something to marvel.
Because of the Andes there is always turbulence in South America. I am glad the planes leaving Florida to Lima have changed their route: now their flying path is Miami, Cuba, Panama, Ecuador-Pacific Coast-Lima.
I would never have survived it. I hate turbulence. I would have been the one placed in handcuffs for screaming that we're all gonna die!!! Then had a heart attack before we touched down.
+Semoine Sykes I'm the same way. Massive anxiety, even though I logically understand what it is....can't deal with it.
Give it up for Jackson Heights own, Mr. Randy Watson IKR??? My dad is an engineer & he always explains flight dynamics, and I listen. But when the plane starts jumping, all logic flies out the window of my mind. Can't deal.
Semoine Sykes I think I'm probably a bit claustrophobic. When that plane shakes, my first thought is "I gotta get out of here." But yea...no can do, haha. (Breathes into paper bag.) Luckily I like to drive. But eventually I'd like to get over to Europe etc! They're going to have to knock me out.
+Semoine Sykes
I hear you Semoine. I'm flying to Ireland next week (about a 6 hour flight) and my doctor prescribed Xanax for me to take before I board the plane.
unfortunately we cant make sure "Flying without Turbulence" ma'am even in clear weather the turbulence happens ( C.A.T = Clear Air Turbulence )
I was in turbulence similar to this footage, from a return trip from Calgary to Toronto. The turbulence lasted a whole hour and it was terrifying! ( for me at least) some were sleeping through it while others were holding hands. The guy next to me who was a first time flyer, had his hand on top of mine through the entire experience - an 18 year old headed off to school out east. This was back in Sept '92!
I’ve definitely held a strangers hand before… cause I was scared
Time flies mate
1 hour
If I were on this flight I'd be crying hysterically.
This is really a solid and an extended turbulence that I have seen so far. Very scary indeed 😟
You see that bald and old guy in front of the camera? Before the turbulence he was a 25 year old with full head of hair
😆
I thought Bernie Sanders was on that flight..!🤣
Lol
LOL!!
Official Nik The King 😂 you made me laugh so hard
plot twist: the plane is fine and the guy is just shaking the camera
Hey i wanted to write something like 'Yeah, I can also shake my cam.'
+Ashley SierraI think there are really no -or not so bad- turbulences because really no one is screaming or something like that.
HAHAHAHAHA
+MidnightSnacks LOL
+MidnightSnacks lol
There is something very unsettling about a large conference room 40,000 feet up jostling around side to side.
Was on a flight from Dallas to Washington D.C. and we hit a drop out of nowhere that felt like one of the designed drops at an amusement park, the ones where your stomach feels the butterflies for 4 or 5 seconds. One person (who wasn’t wearing the seat belt) left their seat and hit their head on the baggage compartment, and a woman puked on herself and the floor. It was one of those 100% “Just land this damn thing right now!” Moments.
In mentioned region, a year ago, I had very bad experience also. Two drops that lasted and lasted and then: all quiet.
well, I kidda regret watching this before a 13-hour flight
😜😜😜😜
Christopher Kevinly how did it go
Zodiac Killer what friend
Im scared bro did u.made in.one.piece?
You good man??? ....... 0_0
My dad's an aerospace engineer and has worked in plane industry for over 40 years. I remember him saying there has only been 2 times or so in history of modern commerical aviation that a plane has crashed due to turbulence, both of them were back in the 60's as the planes then were not as structurally intact as they are today. Judging by this seating arrangement I think this is a 777-300er of which thus far have never crashed due to turbulence.
Does that mean it can't happen today?
Good to know about safety of modern planes.
One flight I had like this I didn't feel like my life was in danger but god damn is it uncomfortable, shaking so much, makes you restless and wishing it stops soon .
I work as a flight attendant. Mostly trans-atlantic routes. The turbulence gets really bad sometimes but I kind of like it... Adds a little excitement to my work. Not tooo much ofcourse
When this happens I really want my flight attendant to sit next to me and tell me this shit is normal and it will be all ok 😭
Worst turbulence ive ever had was from NY to Munich. We were just above England and we had winds with the speed of 200-300kmh. Some women started crying... it was frightening but i just drank 2 beers and some whiskey before it started so i didnt give a fuck xD
+Patrick Rayleigh Those women were idiots
British weather for you. Shitty High winds, Shitty Rain, Shitty grey skies. The weather is simply: Shitty.
+Chantilly 123
Your weather is probably not British. Probably foreign. If you lived on the Isles you boil the rain up. Put a tea bag in and sit back and relax enjoying it. All that shake rattle and roll is probably just an up draught raising high above the Andean peaks. You watch their horror strick faces once their enter in to British air space and the hostest asks if you would like a nice cuppa hot fresh tea. Down below in the Andeas they have some of the highest volcanoes. Minus 50 celsius traranchulas, boa constrictors and Amazonian wild life. Lol.
Michael Greenwood yeah lol, I know, my brother is an aviation geek, and also part of Thomson cabin crew so I know all about that. But come on, weather round here is shitty all year round lol
+Patrick Rayleigh You had the right viewpoint! Planes are made to withstand some amazing levels of stress. A stress test for the A380 model was to take it to almost mach 1 in a dive.
No planes ever crashed because of turbulence. This is like a bad road. Never worry about it!!!! I used to be worried, but then I went to the pilot training center and they launched a maximum turbulence regime- it was very shaky, but I realized that this is NOTHING for plane. Don’t worry you all
On se sent quand même mieux lorsque ça s'arrête

Helemaal mee eens. Ik doe mijn best de mensen om mij heen hiervan bewust te maken! Neemt niet weg dat de ervaring behoorlijk angstig en traumatiserend kan zijn op het moment dat je het meemaakt :)
(yep, posting in my local language on purpose, because I agree with Sam Traveler. There is more to this world than just the English language)
@@Srananbloke haha thanks ! Some of the english native speakers are too self centred on themselves , forgetting that most of the World doesnt like them btw
У меня, уже голова закружилось, это пережить очень страшно... Очень сильная турбулентность... У меня бы сердце остановилось ... Пассажиры молодцы, мужественно держались ..
A me sembra che l unica turbolenza sia la mano di chi fa il video. Chissà perché dei passeggeri nessuno viene sbalzato.. E oltretutto nessuno ha espressioni di timore.
а меня больше напрягают перегрузки и крены сразу после взлёта и на заходе. особенно "отрицательная" вертикальная перегрузка
Outstanding composure in the cabin.
7:59 very comforting and calm message from the captain. British Airways has some of the best pilots I’ve ever seen.
Bullshit.
How could you even hear what he said with all the background noise? Am I just deaf? 😂
No no no. I almost had a panic attack watching this. I can't imagine being in the plane.
Hey I know some named Orozco probably your cousin
It's just like I want to fall off my bed watching this
t would be nice if pilots could reassure the passengers everything is under control 😅
462
At these times, we need to have Rivotril tablets on hand🤣🤣😬😬
Yo viví esa horrible experiencia, viajando de chile a EEUU y pasando por Ecuador nos tocó por pasar cerca de un volcán en erupción, yo pensé que el avión se destrozaría en el aire, es aterrador.
why not change altitude to less turbulent areas ?
I'm already a very nervous flyer. This flight would have killed me!
Agreed I have high anxiety this would have killed me
Maybe the pilot should have said its turbulence we r managing this to try to ease peoples minds
@@katarinamarcelli86 maybe they already have...
Me too, so why did we both think it was a good idea to watch this?! 😂
Mus1c1luv , pilot should say about turbulence. Last time we have turbulence all way 5 hours, and no any notes from pilot
I experienced this in my route to General Santos from Cebu. All the people from that flight shouted when the plane dived deep down. I thought we’re all gonna die that moment. But thank God, we landed safely.
Было так же .Рейс Москва-Бангкок.550 человек на борту.Очень много семей с детьми.Летели над Гималаями и началось...Я с дочкой,молились вслух.Спасибо Богу,что дал пилотам мастерства благополучно долететь.
ما هي نوع الطائرة التي كنت فيها؟
It’s so scary. Thank God for the flight attendants and pilots for staying calm and landing safely. Heroes to me because I could never do this, I would be too busy crying
Whoever is calmly filming this.
You have balls of steel
🤣🤣🤣
The camera guy always survives
"I'm sorry can I get a towel I spilled my water all over my pants during the turbulence"
"But we haven't served drinks yet sir."
"......that'll be all"
Brilliant!!
Pourquoi ne pas seulement construit des chemins des rails au lieu de ça ça fait vraiment peur que Dieu les accompagne
ADKT2AUDIO 😬
That was good LOL!!
🤣🤣🤣👌😆
It's a shame most people don't realise turbulence, for the most part, is completely safe. Just adds to the thrill!
Going home to the Philippines from home in the Netherlands is really a difficult flight for me, because am scared of turbulence. We passed China, that is where we always experience long and hard turbulence.
Prayers for no more flight incidents 🙏🏽
Amén :(
Kif to me!
Yes please
Wow.. I cant believe how calm these passengers are
Like it's something that happens every time..
sahih pakda
The pilot needs to write faster a lot more fun that way
Exactly!! Wtf!! 🤣 in others flies for less than this everyone screaming
I said that to myself too. I myself would be scared to death and panic. I would have lost all the air to breathe because I suffer from hype ventilation anyway. Greetings from Germany Berlin
Hola
My outgoing flight had rough tuberlance and my first was scared but prayed , my returning flight had tough tuberlance and at that point I was over it …my last flight from a layover it’s like God said your ensured enough , such a smooth ride back home ,and beautiful skies …Like life we encounter turbulence sometimes but in the end when it becomes smooth again we appreciate it so much more
Estuve en un vuelo de Barcelona a Canarias y cuando sobrevolábamos el Estrecho empezamos a notar turbulencias bestiales, yo pensé que no llegábamos, Dios que miedo pasé!
I am not really worried about the violent shaking of turbulence but what im worried of the most is that butterfly feeling when the plane drops. Here is a TIP for those people in order to MINIMIZE that butterfly feeling. Try to sit at a 45 degree angle coz for some reason it minimizes the effect of the butterfly in your stomach. Trust me it works and this is what I do all the time.
That's me! I can handle turbulence, its that feeling (kinda like in a elevator) when the plane drops.
thats the G force, in severe turbulence you feel -G and +G forces ... I enjoy it very much :D
Yes! Same with me. I can't even ride rollecoasters cause the feeling in my stomach is sooo strong. And i'm scared of it in the plane. Thx for the tip!
The butterfly feeling is not the problem your blater you cannot control and you pee in your pants that is scary :-)
Je pus du cul!
Clear skies doesn't guarantee a smooth flight, take note of that folks!
turbulance level depends on wind direction with respect to plane & its strength, not the clear skies
It is called CAT (CLEAR AIR TURBULENCE )
The sky wasnt clear --- it was high thin cloud and jetstreams together over the mountains --- updrafts and all those jetstreams can be awful -- but planes are made to handle them.........BUT NOT FRENCH PILOTS
oh its a cat? LOL JK
I know the feeling. We once flew through a storm near a mountain
Severe turbulence can be absolutely terrifying.
