    Anybody that completely unbuckles during a flight other than going to the toilet is taking a similar risk as driving without a seat belt. Loosen but do not unbuckle, period.

    I was 70 years old on Saturday in London/Kent and I last flew in 2001 and was so nervous, on arrival, at Tenerife, that I was searched at the Airport due to my suspicious demeanour. 23 years later, heaven only knows how edgy I would be. I only encountered turbulence once in 1973 while travelling to Rimini on The Adriatic Riviera and I flew around 20 times but counted every minute in the air apart from 1979 when I was quite relaxed on an 11-hour flight to Los Angeles.

    I can remember an incident when flying back to Skopje Airport. We were on a civilian, passenger aircraft, and on the way back from leave. We were thousands of feet up, and nothing could be seen below us when i looked out of the window. We suddenly hit bad turbulence, and the aircraft dropped dramatically. People flew out of their seats and hit their heads. Stewardesses flew in the air. I was lucky, I had my seat belt on. When I looked out of the window, I could see the sea below us. We had dropped thousands of feet in an instant. It was a strange feeling when the engines seemed to go silent as we dropped like a brick. Our was a definite drop and not a descent.

    You'll be fine, my man. Things like this are a rarity. You're much more likely to have an accident on the car journey to the airport. I fly in two days. I used to be terrified but I'm okay now. A long haul flight from UK to US helped. Also on the way back to the UK, it was a very late flight and snowing, and the pilot said "we'll likely experience around 5 hours of turbulence due to the cold and winds over the Atlantic". I got so bored of the turbulence and shaking it basically dissipated all my fear and I've been mostly okay since.

    The plane didn't "drop" 6000 ft. The 6000 ft descent was a controlled descent to a new flight level as part of the flight path to Bangkok. This was after the turbulence event. It is important to do fact checking and not report false information. Will you post a video to apologise for providing false information?

    What, the pilots who flew straight through an area of convective weather, when most other aircraft in the vicinity had been flying around it for the previous couple of hours? There was extensive weather in the area. The question is how they came to fly through it. Unfortunate decision? Improper monitoring? I’m assuming their weather radar was on (it would at least have to be functioning to have dispatched in the first place) but whether they were paying sufficient attention to it or not will need to be ascertained in the inevitable enquiry. I’d imagine they’ll say it was clear air turbulence, which is very difficult to avoid without reports from other aircraft or very accurate forecasting, but pretty much everyone else in the same airspace were dodging the tops of CBs. (Cumulonimbus clouds, which are large, convective clouds with a whole load of vertical energy.)

    A freak weather event is the least likely scenario, surely? Experienced passenger flyers will tell you they are used to being warned that turbulence is coming and get themselves buckled up. Not saying it was totally impossible, but on that scale? . . . No warnings from the tech? No chance of pilot error? Seems unlikely to me?

    This has brought to my mind the rogue waves that were once thought to be myths and exaggerations but turned out to 💯 true.

    Makes perfect sense. I was 70 years old on Saturday in London/Kent and I last flew in 2001 and was so nervous, on arrival, at Tenerife, that I was searched at the Airport due to my suspicious demeanour. 23 years later, heaven only knows how edgy I would be. I only encountered turbulence once in 1973 while travelling to Rimini on The Adriatic Riviera and I flew around 20 times but counted every minute in the air apart from 1979 when I was quite relaxed on an 11-hour flight to Los Angeles.
