- I was on a flight from Los Angeles to London a few days before Christmas 2016. The plane was a A380, operated by British Airways. I was sitting on the upper deck, last row. Less than 1 hour after take off we flew through very heavy turbulences. I never thought a A380 could shake that heavily. It was by far the heaviest turbulences I have experienced. I started recording after 5 minutes, because I found this very unusual. In the video you hear a few people shouting after a sick bag. I stopped recording after 4 more minutes because I thought its over. But then suddenly it got even worse, things flew from the service carriage and you nearly got lifted of the seat a few times. Over all it lasted around 15 minutes.

I just love it when a plane is going side to side, your bowels are going up and down, your bricking it and the Captain or co pilot comes on in a calm voice and reassures everyone to remain calm. We will try to fly around this turbulence and make your flight as comfortable as we possibly can.....if only my underwear was to believe it.....cheeks clenched.
Whenever the seatbelt signs come on my anxiety rises. I know there's nothing dangerous about turbulence and experienced air pockets before but it's still nerve wracking when you're being bumped about. It's the noises as well and as soon as someone says "oh shit" I immediately sit up like a meerkat 😕
Me too, i start holding the seat handle and tighten my seatbelt as tight as i can. My hands starts sweating and the urge of i going to the bathroom goes higher. I think of something else, or try to sleep.
Yep me too lol... just got off a 12hour flight yesterday what a relief that was.. im one of those flyers that keeps looking at the screen on how much flying time is left.. the more i look at it the longer the flight takes lol
mel my hand does to
@@onthegrind7525 true 😄😄😄
Me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When the seatbelt lights come on my hearts starts to beat fast, but when the captain says the words "cabin crew please take your seat"...my heart stops and I say a silent prayer and think about all the things I wanted to do with my life but I can't now cos imma bout to die!
Nah....... if you can do it, try not to worry about turbulence, especially on a giant like an A380. Think of it as a bumpy road in your car, it's the same thing and it'll soon pass..... the pilots will often ask to fly a little higher or lower if they think it'll last for more than a couple of minutes.
Trust me, it will quickly pass.😉
Me too ! I took a flight back from Tokyo to Kumamoto ( a city in Southern Japan ) last week . We had turbulence because of strong headwinds the captain and flight attendants said . The captain was talking to us almost whole flight . I also thought omg 😱
I feel the same way...my face will have that “oh shit” look😂
The best comment, ahahahaha
@@gooner72 i try to do this but that 'falling through the air' and 'falling diagonally side to side' feeling is not something that translates mentally to being on a bumpy car ride...particularly when you see the whole cabin wobble from side to side.
As long as the pilot and captain are confident the plane will just fly fine.
Picture it like this, you’re driving down a bumpy road with potholes and every shake is just the plane falling in a pothole or you hit a bump in the road. It’s nothing dangerous
The problem is that, you can see potholes. You cannot see turbulence. What gets to people is the lack of control.
You’re wrong. Potholes destroy tires. Causes blowouts and accidents and death
If the pothole’s bad enough, you could snap an axle LOL
Except the car is on the ground and not 35k ft in the air. Lol
Except u don’t feel like u have gs against u
As per definition this is moderate turbulence.
Moderate turbulence consists of changes in your altitude or attitude, but your aircraft remains in positive control at all times. You'll feel a definite strain against you seat belt or shoulder straps. And if you have unsecured objects in the cabin, they'll become dislodged.
The plane was under control at all times
I would even say light turbulences
The sound of the engines are very relaxing
Quite a bumpy ride but good thing you were on an A380 and not in a small prop plane.
Turbulence doesn't matter with the size of the plane
@@allanoluko2390 while turbulence affects planes of all size, aircraft like the 747 and A380 will absorb air turbulence much better than say, a Dash-8 or private single engine plane. So yes size is a factor for aircraft.
@@fortythreenorth2518 Actually not so - the penetration speed and velocity of movements are relative to the size of aircraft. It's a common misconception that big planes "absorb" turbulence. Turbulence is defined by EDU (eddy displacement units) and this has nothing to do with size. The only thing a bigger plane does is displace more air volume.
In my trolley dolly days, we used to call this the Arizona Bounce.
An Airbus A380 is a massive plane biggest passenger plane in service around the World currently, to feel that much turbulence in such a big plane it has to be some serious turbulence!!!
Yeah well for FLYING in planes non of us should have to go thru Turbulence that much..ever!
Imagine being in an A320
We were almost had a plane crash with A380 due to courteousy of a heavy turbulence
@@allanoluko2390 ah bon et comment exactement où ça ???
@@samsam-zj8fk yeah air hostes fell down with her utensils and the properties fell at the passangers heads during that time
I’ve been on an A380 with similar turbulence, it’s nothing to worry about and an aircraft like the 380 is built to withstand a huge amount more, good on the F/O for reassuring the passengers
heavy turbulence can cause A380 to fall don't jock with it
@@allanoluko2390 no. Planes never go down due to turbulence
@@ruanaur it is only God can decide the plane to go down or not only option you need to do is prayers
Imagine what the pilots are going through trying to stabilize that beast. Of course they are trained for these events.
Actually there is nothing to stabilize. I fly by myself, gliders and ultralight plane. I have been in so much heavier turbolences...Its not that you can do much against it. There is also an auto pilot...its not an issue, its doing nothing to tje plane really. Its only dangerous for passengers when it gets too heavy.
I'm preparing for my flight to London from Denver next month by watching turbulence videos.....why am I like this?
Been in a couple flights like this. When the flight attendants are told to be seated, that's when I panic!
As an active A380 pilot, I can say you were really lucky.
That was right over my house in the Coachella Valley. Winds here can be insane and even Former President Obama’s last flight on Air Force One had to be diverted to March AFB due to the weather and high winds.
Obama sux
Diverted to?........
I love Coachella. I was at The Empire Polo Club for Desert Trip. One of the best times of my life!
Too bad Obama never heard "Whoop whoop pull up whoop whoop pull up"
Just landed from LH459 SFO to MUC in a380 and we also definitely had moderate turbulences 30mn after the take off for about 5 mn, it can be very disturbing if you are not used to it event though it is totally safe
I was on a WestJet from LaG to Jax this week that did that for an hour and a half till we hit southern GA and calmed down. The pilots were not talking the entire flight...was a bit nerve-wracking.
I miss flying!
I try hard to picture the bumpy lane and driving over potholes - but never really successful. worst I've experienced was almost the entire flight from New Zealand to Singapore in january - awful. Never wanted to fly again but still had another 14 hours to the UK which was thankfully so smooth.
The same thing happened to me about 20 years ago and thankfully, I haven’t really had much bad turbulence since. It was a Singapore Airline’s Boeing 777 overnight flight from Auckland to Singapore. The captain spoke to us about 10 mins into the flight, saying he would update us at intervals during the 91/2 hour flight. We then proceeded to have about 8 hours of weak to moderate turbulence and he never spoke again until we landed. That’s why I’m not a big fan of Singapore Airlines but I think Air New Zealand is great as the flight crews always communicate and let you know what’s happening in bad weather.
I have dealt with a lot of people that hate turbulence or they are scared of turbulence as I am a flight attendant in Qatar airways. There's nothing to worry about in a turbulence although it might feel a bit bumpy. You know it's alright when the flight attendants are still walking up and down the aircraft. Qatar airways - #travel with confidence #travel with Qatar airways.
I flown with all the big airlines but qatar were the best amazing 👏
I had turbulence on an A380. My mum threw her drink on me 🤣
@@LongHaulPilot turbulence doesn't matter with the size of Aircraft 😂
This is the time when my fingers leave a permanent indentation in the arm rest.
I hear ya! I hate to fly. Was on a flight from Calgary, returing home to Toronto and that plane shook, rattled and rolled NON STOP! The guy next to me held my hand throughout the entire flight - his first time flying and going away to school!

In a few more minutes you flew directly over my house in Arizona.
Excellent video scary moment
Mountains. Enjoy the ride.
Love the turbulence, sleep like champ
Woah that’s scary I remember during the 3 years me and my mom flew British airways from Philadelphia to London And London Go Philadelphia there were some flight where we had turbulence that was almost as crazy as this and only I think 2 of our flights were smooth
This is light chop. Moderate chop people would be screaming and losing their minds. In severe turbulence shit flies everywhere including people.
I always expect a rough ride over the grand canyon / mountains region. Never not had some form of turbulence when heading to the west coast.
I've flown over the grand canyon several times UK to Vegas and never experienced turbulence it's usually around the Nova Scotia area it gets a bit bumpy!
I quite like turbulence, gets me off to sleep quicker. I just imagine I’m on a jolting train.
@SpizzEnergi Same here. I sleep like a baby where there's turbulance. I just imagine I'm in an heaving ocean. Rocky-bye baby on the tree top ....
Turbulence on a380 Dubai to London - 4hrs shaking out of 7hrs flight, horrible side to side landing with late reverse as if we were going to take off after landing. Nearly 2am, still can’t sleep
That's only very minor turbulence for the A380 but on a smaller aircraft it would've been fairly uncomfortable for some nervous flyers.
Typical turbulence when flying over the Rockies. It’s much worse in a smaller plane.
Indeed. It’s a 26 minute flight from Denver to Eagle/Vail, but it’s non-stop turbulence from takeoff to landing in a CRJ-200.
Correct. Been there done that. Worst!!!!
Happened to us on our way to Colorado from California last year of December 2019 w/ our baby girl. Very scary!
Over the mountains....almost always!!! Sit tight hang on.
Damn that really was heavy! Smaller jets like the 737 Might have gotten to take a different route
That could be. I have to say that we had a 2.5 hours delay on that flight. So that could have been the reason why the pilot didnt take another route.
@@steffik.5904 dude imagine having a perfect sleep but then strong turbulence come
@@abeljoseph1879 Well usually they start slowly. But I will never have a problem with that since I cant sleep anywhere else than in my bed.
I have ever experienced a heavy turbulence with A380 fly emirates aircraft on 12 April 2023 Wednesday morning from Dubai to Egypt it started there in the middle of red sea the turbulence was quite heavy until everyone thought the plane is going to crash until some of passangers started screaming while air hostess giving everyone food the turbulence became worse until air hostess fell down with the utensils while screaming then the pilot heard the screamand told everyone to sit down to wait for five to clear the mess the route was successful changed and we reached at the airport and we thank God for that. Heavy turbulence doesn't matter with the size of the plane
Up front the pilot is shaking the stick left and right back and forth. He and FO are having a good laugh.
on the screen i could see Salton sea its in the desert area of California ( Not far from Palm Springs)
gmatar Yup. It’s where I live and winds can be insane here due to be surrounded by the mountains.
Of course.
Pilot: Ladies & Gentlemen we are just experiencing slight turbulence. No need to worry it's just like driving down a bumpy road except that the road is air & the car is travelling 600mph at 37000ft
THIS IS THE CAPTAIN... JUST RELAX WE ARE GOING TO HEAVEN ANYWAY HEHEHE
Bruh 😂😂
Its unbelievable to think that a 200 ton plane can be tossed around
370 tons loaded
Just had some really bad turbulence passing by India. Storm in area we were flying.
Same like me... anytime passing by india
I feel bad that it makes me fall asleep each time // I am like maybe I won't wake up
Oh man that was pretty rough!!!!
Yes but belive it or not turbulence acually isnt dangerous
@@maulanwong3841
Maybe but it always makes me nevrous!!
@@dimitrisambient6237 did you know that planes are so strong that they can survive even the most strongest or severest turbulence ever and even if the engines stop running the plane will glide for 25 minutes or more depending on the altitude plus a engine failure is very rare also keep in mind that despite the turbulence being rough that its acually not dangerous
Maulan Wong the plane will glide, but what if your in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. What do you do? Hmmm
joseph i think there’s something called water landing where the plane crash lands on the water as an emergency or something. correct me if i’m wrong idk a lot about these.
I can not believe someone still laughing on this situation😂
Nadya Said second one you
I hate turbulence even though I know it's safe. You just have to sit through it and sooner than later usually you'll get smoother air. Most of the time, once I flew from Japan to LA and it was 8 hours of bumps, of course nothing happened though, safe flight.
I love a bit of turbulence!
dollyknockers A bit of turbulence makes it fun. Free roller-coaster ride for fee -- and it's a break from the monotony.
That's most likely light turbulence, it may be moderate for a smaller plane.
epic
Whaaaat? It's an AIRBUS A380! That is not a smaller plane! Can you read??
@@greeneyedwarlock882 ??
your a fool
@@greeneyedwarlock882 I didn't said that this was a small plane. Can you read??
When I was in the A350, i was in the lavatory longer when the seatbelt sign is switched on during turbulence 😂
I’d be freaking out
Looks like they are flying over Rockies which is a turbulence hot spot.
Simple turbulence check if the cabin crew are told to buckle up, it's going to be a rough ride, had it happen British Airways LAX to LHR in 1987, lasted for 1 hour and 10 minutes, terrifying.
this would be considered light turbulence. if you ran a simulation of this kind of turbulence and were viewing the aircraft from the outside, it's very possible you won't notice a thing.
Thats scary
holy shet, that shaking sound is scary
I wish they'd invent turbulence free planes.
RS 7 Sameeee
lol. Wind and jet streams would have to go extinct. That'll solve your turbulence.
Alex 22793 That wouldnt be the only way, maybe they could program an autopilot which would calculate the winds and keep itself at the same altitude by complying with the winds
@@Rocket-qg5jw Possibly, I feel like that might be pretty inefficient though. There's nothing to worry about when facing turbulence. As long as your plane isn't in a nose dive, or banking more that 40 degrees you've got nothing to worry about.
Alex 22793 thats true but even though it isnt very logical, turbulence is the sole reason why many people have fear of flying including me
worse turbulence i flew in was that big nor easter new york had back in march of 2018. worse turbulence EVER on takeoff. Was flying in a delta A319 LGA-DTW. Takeoff was crazzzzzyyyyyy
Going 850 KMH in a pepsi can, praying your god that the sheet metal hold on.
Driving between mountains and bumpy roads is dangerous
OMG!!! U ARE FLYING OVER WHERE I LIVE...SALTON SEA IMPERIAL VALLEY!!!!
Los Angeles to London Heathrow
Stop farting, you're shaking the plane...
professorbuglefarts1 lol
In South Africa at Johannesburg airport men bathroom are farting in stalls constantly but in the ladies room the women’s farts on toilet so loud you can hear them from the men’s.
Jed Hutchins BAHAHHAHAHAHHA WHAT
Lol
professorbuglefarts1 how old are you? 12?
that's an awful feeling. i've been told to fly in the morning to avoid turbulence.
Imagine if you were in a smaller plane!
Turbulence is air
It’s going to be fine.
Be worried if there was no air up in the sky.
Air is what keeps the world going.
Even the largest aircraft is tiny in a big sky. I would have been afraid even tho these aircraft are extremely safe.
Coming out of San Francisco Sunday, the flight attendant said no more drink service cause the captain wanted them to buckle up. Almost had to change my undies lol
I felt turbulence on this same route in 2015 and aircraft and airline
I can't even imagine how it would be in a a320.
wouldn't be much worse
Turbulence doesn't care about the size of the plane
I felt dizzy only from watching this🤯🤯 I hate turbulence, however I try to think of a few things while this is happening:
1. Trust that the pilots know what they are doing and that you will safely arrive at your destination.
2. Think of it as a bumpy road that you are travelling on just like when you travel by car.
3. Also, if turbulence was this dangerous? Do you think anyone would actually work with flying planes and being the crew up there if there was a severe risk of dying every day? Besides, don't you think we would read about accidents literally EVERY DAY if that was the case?
4. This might sound easier said than done but try to focus on your breathing.
During all my last flights, I kept these notes written down on a paper to have a look at from time to time.
What airline? What route? Which seat? How long did it last? We should know!
Read description.

Important that the plane does not to fall!!
Hello, I'd love to use this video in a documentary I am working on about turbulence - would that be ok with you? Thanks :)
@@mollyharper4040 yes

15 hours of constant turbulence in the A380 from Australia to Doha so you should be happy yours only lasted 15 mins, I mean it wasn't this bad but still. The flight back was better, we had a bad dip at some point that I unfortunately was awake for even though I took sleeping pills lol but it was just the 1 and I was so grateful for that. I get some pretty gnarly stomach sinking so I could handle one but anymore and I don't know what would happen but it wouldn't be good. The first flight was essentially 15 hours of stomach and head sinking, I couldn't sleep a wink.
When?
15 hours straight? what did the pilot say?
This is the only thing i don't like about air travel.
U will feel shivers down ur spine the moment the captain asks the cabin crew to sit down.. terrible experience 😁
A380 is less likely to experience this kind of turbulence being it's large mass.
Like a boat to a ship with kinda big waves. You dont feel the waves in a bigger vessel as you would in a much smaller one.
Try one day to A380 fly emirates from Dubai to Egypt there is a heavy turbulence in that route it doesn't care the size of the plane the turbulence almost causing an accident at A380 plane and I was in that plane traveling
Damn... if the a380 shakes like this something like an airbus a320 wouldn't be safe anymore
Turbulence doesn't care about the size of the plane
@@allanoluko2390 Size definitely matters, a big one can take more while a small one will be thrown around
@@smeshsmesh9695 it doesn't matter what matters most is the strength of turbulence which shakes the any type of aircraft no matter what
You haven’t experienced “heavy turbulence” dude! this is normal turbulence.
Dude, this is very heavy for a A380. I am a privat pilot by myself,I also fly gliders. For a plane of the size of an A380, these are very heavy turbulences.
Turbulence, you just have to liken the aircraft like a woman in all her finery who just loves to dance to the music on the passengers' headphones.
This is heavy turbulence
They need to repave the road they’re on!
LOVE FLYING
REGARDLESS OF TURBULENCE
COME FLY WITH ME
I remember a flight from LA to London once and the turbulence was so bad the captain said throw the tannoy “cabin crew down “ as they were halfway through a service and they just sat down wherever they were. There was one next to me and the crew member asked me to hold the cart to stop it flying off haha
When the cabin crew are told to be seated it's a sure sign pilots anticipate more chop. When the cabin crew start screaming you should too. Until then, relax and make another shaky hand video like this one :)
F in the comments for light aircraft pilots
I always put seatbelt on before sleeping
This is moderate. Severe would be WAY WORSE.
Mile High clubbers thought the world moved for them!
What Airline ？
British Airways
that is baby turbulence
It’s always unsettling to me and get a bit anxious but I know these planes are designed to handle all that shaking and bumping around. Some times the bumps sound and feel like you actually hit something!!
I'd say light to moderate it's not really that continuous just a few shakes here and there really
I'd rather my 2 feet on the ground I could never travel so far on a plane I hate flying one of my worst fears even being in a car is fearful I always wanted to go to America but I'll just enjoy being in Australia
You are missing something. Flying in a plane is safer than walking anywhere.
Call that turbulence please ,, it is moderate turbulence to be fair turbulence even severe is no problem to the plane it just effects the passengers the plane bumps up and down at most 20 feet it’s just disconcerting
oh yeah u should a seen this flight i did on a A4B50
Oh mein Gott
I would definitely have a heart attack
Hate fking turbulence
