Happened to me once. A lady squeezed a huge bag up there although the attendant told her not to. It popped out during a small turbulence and hit my shoulder. No apology from her. She checked the bag but not me, she cared about her bag more than me.

They could have gone into a panic but didn't ,I doubt 5 weeks training could prevent that. That was what I meant.
I've been on a flight that experienced sudden turbulence followed by a freefall right after takeoff. We were only about 3000ft above the ground and the whole thing lasted only about 5 seconds but the screaming and panic onboard was just overwhelming. Imagine being on a plane while it's still on a low altitude and it just starts falling towards the ground... My abs were hurting a week after that.
The plane didn`t drop 6000 ft, it just descended for emergency landing.

Radar needs something to bounce off. With clear air turbulence there is nothing to give a return (unlike storm clouds where the water in the cloud gives a return).

Really depends on whether they knew about the turbulence and if there was something that could be done to avoid it. Its not that easy as “yea flying turbulence normal blabla not pilots’ fault”.
I wonder why the press keep presenting the 6000 feet drop in a few minutes as something necessarily terrible when that is exactly what planes do when they are landing. The issue is not the "sudden" drop but that it happened when the plane was supposed to still be cruising.
@krashd
24 күн бұрын
Yeah, the not-so-sudden drop (6000ft in 3 mins is perfectly normal) was likely the pilots dropping to a lower altitude to get out of the turbulence. I read in a newspaper the actual turbulent drop from hitting a cold pocket of air was something like 80ft, which is why everything not strapped down hit the ceiling.
This turbulence can happen to any flight.
Please don't forget to thank the Pilots... it can get much worse... good handling of the emergency!

Dropping 6000 feet and still landing safely takes a lot. Seems like an amazing job done by the pilots but no mention though. Hopefully the investigation will give us the answers. God bless

The 6,000 feet being referred to was the initial descent into Bangkok and nothing to do with the turbulence. The turbulence was significant, (and thankfully rare) but likely the total climb/descent attributable to the turbulence was within 750 - 1000 feet over a short period. Still not something I’d want to experience, but some of the numbers being thrown around by media companies are absurd.

Airline crew asks for keeping seatbelt on all flight in case unexpected turbulences happen. Feel sorry for passengers and well done to the pilot who landed safely. It could have ended worse.
Sad 😮
The important nrssage sky news forgot to include in this report is how important it is to keep your seatbelt fastnened for the whole flight. It van be loosened off but knly take it off to get out of your seat. Its not uncomfortable to wear like that so no real need tk undo it. Guarantee all those passengers will leave their belts done up kn their next flight but be good for the world to learn the importance of keeping your belt done up when the sign goes out
What BS will they blame this on? Its getting a hell of a lot of media coverage!
This is why i always get loaded before flights. Scary stuff.
And the saying goes that "flying is one of the safest ways to travel". I think a lot of folk on that plane would disagree. Shame that somebody goes out on a plane for a holiday or a trip...and they don't make it back. That's the sad part of the tale...for someone...it was their last chapter of their life.

The 6,000 feet descent was over a few minutes, probably done to get to a smoother lower altitude after the clear air turbulence event. Planes usually descend at 2,000-2,500 feet per minute...
@leexgx

6000 ft in 2 minutes is fast but more likely happened is that was experiencing extreme sudden drops in altitude in between the 6000ft the Airbus had a problem where it absolutely intercepted angle of attack sensors and directed it to the trim witch unfortunately directly manipulated the trim immediately (instead of smoothing it out or just ignoring it as implausible data and a error on maintenance computer and possibly disabling the flight director partially) one day they had a problem with multiple angle sensors that were unfortunately all reading the same incorrect information which caused the plane to immediately set the trim suddenly Max down and then back up to level again Mutiple times until they disable the trim or selected direct law mode and on that flight they had panels missing on the roof where people had hit them hard enough to break them (this flight was just blood and o2 masks deployed and one person had an heart attack)
