I still can’t shake the feeling of we’re about to fall out of the sky when experiencing severe turbulence. I can never get used to it

You can tell they fly a lot. Nobody is freaking out.

When you fly enough, it is normal. As long as the wings don’t snap off, everything is fine.

Im confused at the people saying this is light. Have you watched the entire thing? Im not one to be afraid of turbulence and have gone through a very bad flight. I usually find these videos mid... but there are instances, for sure, in this clip, where it gets pretty damn rocky. That is not light. The people were just strapped tight in and not yelling.

​@@brucesmith9144Clearly you weren't on this flight. The entire episode lasted about 25 minutes and was severe enough for the Captain to share that he had been knocked sideways in his seat,(a first in his 35 year career), and for a severe turbulence event to be recorded in the AML. This airline prides itself first and foremost on the safety of it's customers. Hence the exceptionally well prepared cabin, passengers and crew. Other airlines might choose to carry out meal services whilst negotiating thunderstorms, and whilst that makes for exciting videos and dramatic headlines, I know which approach I prefer.

Well, you obviously weren't on that flight... None of that happened because everything was put away and everyone was strapped in. We were lucky because we had about 30 minutes warning so were totally ready for it. What the video doesn't show is what it felt like. If you watch to the view from the window you can see the jet blast moving relative to the window and just how much the aircraft is actually moving around. And at risk of repeating myself, it was enough that the Captain felt the aircraft get knocked sideways so violently that he commented that it was the first time in 35 years that he had felt his seat get slammed sideways and upon landing at LAX the aircraft was subject to a turbulence check because of the severity.

Hi Alan, I'd love to use this video in a documentary I am working on about turbulence - would that be ok? Thanks :)

And the crew going through the cabin ensuring that everyone was actually wearing their belts. It might seem annoying that we pester people about wearing their belts during the flight but it's for good reason. Take the Singapore Airlines incident last week as an example. At least one fatality and several badly injured and diverted to Bangkok... You'll note that the BA flight on the same route at around the same time had none of those issues. It's pretty straightforward really... If you're strapped in, you won't be able to hit the ceiling. If you can't hit the ceiling then you can't break your head on the ceiling or break the ceiling with your head. And if you're stupid enough to be serving food in those circumstances, then your focus is in the wrong place.

It's perfectly safe... Well, as long as you're strapped in. Turbulence injuries are caused by people or stuff smacking into things. Imagine driving at 100 over a rough field. Would you rather be sat in a seat with a belt on or stood up in the back of a pick up truck? Turbulence is the same thing. It will bounce you around but it doesn't have to be dangerous.

Thank you for your opinion. Obviously you weren't on that flight, but as someone who was, I can assure you that if the cabin crew are strapped in, then it is severe. Basic turbulence as you put it, mild as we call it, won't even stir your gin and tonic. Moderate turbulence will make your G+T splash all over your lap and severe turbulence has the potential to throw it across the cabin. This video doesn't look very dramatic but that's because the crew had prepared the cabin as if for landing. So apologies for no trollies or people flying around and bits of aircraft trim falling from the ceiling.

Worst flight to date was circa 1987, I was just 11... Just before Christmas flying from LGW to GCI in a Shorts 330... An unpressurized 33 seat twin turboprop. There was a series of thunderstorms working their way up the English Channel. That flight took over twice the normal time and most of it was spent one one side or the other dodging the lightning and squalls. I don't recall being scared but I vividly remember the constantly changing pitch of the engine noise and the sensation of rolling, dropping and climbing as the aircraft clawed its way forwards and the rain battering against the fuselage.

It was severe enough for the skipper to comment afterwards that it was the first time in 35 years of flying that he had been knocked sideways in his seat. Also the crew in the forward galley were unable to see the aft end of the aisle due to the flex in the fuselage. In the footage from the perspective of the rearmost row note the floor, seats and overhead lockers all moving in different directions, and note just how much the exhaust stream from the #2 engine is moving around relative to the actual position of the engine. It didn't feel unsafe or overly dramatic because we were expecting it and the crew had fully prepared for it, including communicating what was coming to the passengers. Granted, there was no headline grabbing significant change in altitude that you might expect from clear air turbulence, but note that not all turbulence is equal.
