Had 2 experiences with this. A flight out of Utah where the pilot told us it was going to be bumpy, but he was going with the max climb rate of the aircraft. It was only for a few minutes. Then the other time I had a rather rough flight and about 3/4 of the way through, the woman seated next to me said, "you're so calm, doesn't this bother you?" To which I pointed at a UPS pilot seated across the aisle and said, "I panic when he panics!" He pulls his head out of a magazine and looks at her and says, "Lady, this is nothing. He's at least flying around the rough stuff, I fly through it."

Why would you fly through it?

When my son was a young one, we went on a flight from Little Rock to Dallas. We hit some pretty bad turbulence on decent to Dallas, and people were starting to get nervous and vocal like in this video. My son, in his young childlike mind, thought he was on a fair ride or something and just started belly laughing and raising his hands like one would do on a roller coaster. He did that through the entire time of turbulence. Which made other passengers loosen up and not be as worried. It was funny to hear our end of the plane start giggling through the turbulence lol.

The power of aluminum! The newer planes utilize carbon fiber. They are even stronger and lighter…..which makes for longer wings. I can’t remember the number but they are designed to bounce up and down not in “inches” but in increments of feet. Carbon fiber doesn’t get metal fatigue and is a much safer longer lasting material.

Worse turbulence I ever experienced was a beautiful clear day landing in Palm Springs sitting in an Airbus A320. This was back when United had earphone jacks that allowed you to tune into the cockpit/ATC conversation. ATC advised below 10K feet on approach, well, winds blowing in every direction. Never heard that before. Next 15 minutes or so we were tossed around like a rag doll. Captain never so much as flinched in her communication with ATC. Cool as a cucumber. Missed our approach and had to go around for another 20 minutes or so of being tossed around by the summer thermals. I was in the aisle seat and the couple next to me made me understand what white knuckle flying was all about. We landed to great thundering applause in the cabin.

@@YAZZYUTUBE 1.) The 1979 incident was American Airlines 191--and I'm personally extremely glad that the surviving DC-10s are not used commercially anymore. I can recall flying the DC-10s from 2006 (college freshman year) to their retirement in 2007. The flying was fine, but even I could not shake off the stories from older fliers onboard who lost loved ones and co-workers on AA191--and we all agreed that if the carriers had followed directions in removing the engine and pylons correctly, that accident never had to happen. Then, that Continental flight losing that shoddy third-party piece that fell off the wing and led to the Air France 4590 Concorde crash. That was the DC-10, though; the modern planes are built better. 2.) You do make a good point, and I am a VERY scary flier--but the stalls can happen in the best of times. So can sudden car wrecks (like the one I was in that has led to my progressive nerve and spine damage) and earthquakes in the best of weather. It's just one of those things were you hedge your bets and cross your fingers. When I can't handle planes, I take trains good or bad.

The worst turbulence I’ve experienced was flying back from the Bahamas. Seeing a flight attendant laughing after being literally picked up and thrown against a bathroom door, the pilot explaining a storm was nearby and then repeatedly promising he’d find a calmer altitude when each one became turbulent and a friend’s amazingly strong drink helped. I think having it happen in darkness added a layer of anxiety.

A pilot can depart safely if the convection (storm) is 5 to 10nm from a airport. From what I seen the main cell was at least that or slightly more (7+nm maybe). That would explain the sharp turn after takeoff, he was trying to avoid the convection. Plus he has radar on the aircraft, his airline dispatcher, and ATC to constantly give him weather updates. Plus he has ATC giving the pilots headings or the pilot has a right to call for a heading around the storm. I can tell you that he wasn't in the storm he was on the outskirts or the edge of the storm.

He neglected to tell us that were flying INTO a nor'easter, and a damn potent one at that. Felt like we were being rocked quite a bit - like it went from 0 to 10 in seconds, then dropped down to a proverbial 7 or 8. I distinctly remember that being the only time I **wanted** to punch someone in the face, and gave "that look" to the captain while deplaning that said 'if it were legal to, I'd fucking punch you in the nose.' How the fuck do you not think it a good idea to warn your passengers that you're gonna fly into a FUCKING NOR'EASTER?!?! This is in stark contrast to another flight - TPA-HPN, also on jetBlue. We were facing some solidly moderate turbulence over Georgia and South Carolina. Unlike the other flight, the captain of this flight kept us informed throughout it all, what they were doing to try to mitigate discomfort, etc. I was eating a bag of skittles and deplaning, offered the captain some (which, after a moment, he accepted).

You are so wrong. Pilots fly STRICT headings and altitude based on ATC instructions. If pilots had the type of latitude you mentioned the vertical separation of sometimes no more than 1000ft and horizontal separation of sometimes 3 miles apart, there would be tons more accidents. The only time a pilot would deviate in a major way is during an emergency. ATC would clear the airspace around the plane in trouble and would be laser focused to give as much help as possible to the pilot. I am retired US Air Force so I kinda know a thing or two.

As someone who listens to the air band occasionally I can confirm. Pilots can ask for deviation around storms. Unlike ATC, pilots have live weather radar with more detail then ATC has.

I was just a kid and didn’t really understand what was going on but I remember my dad stressing since my mom was 32 weeks pregnant with my sister. But thankfully we landed safely and had an amazing vacation!❤

Oh wow, I have been on too many military and civilian flights, to see the thick fog, lightning, and the winglets flexing at that rate is scary when I heard the 10,000 feet beep in the cabin it was a bit sound of a calming down even for me watching you video, awesome video and thanks for sharing.

I love Southwest!

The worst part of a situation like that is people that panic. If one starts panicking then someone nearby, who was just about holding it together, then also starts panicking because the first person is panicking...etc etc and soon a chain reaction gives you a plane load of shaken (lol sorry) people. I know a lot of people don't like it and I'm not making fun of them, but panicking just makes a slightly uncomfortable experience even more uncomfortable.

I love the whine from the engines during taxi! So relaxing. 🤩🤩🤩🤩

I was on a flight from Houston to Atlanta. Our pilot first told us we were heading north to go around the storms popping up along the Alabama/Georgia border... a little bit later he came back on the PA and said storms were flaring up to the north so he said... and I will never forget his words... "We are going to punch through this line of storms so hold on we will be through it in a few minutes. " he was not lying. Next thing we know we are all pushed back in our seats as he gave, what I am assuming to be full power to the engines as we descend through heavy turbulence. Once we broke the clouds the turbulence stopped and we had the smoothest landing. As we deplanned the pilots were at their cockpit door with smirks. I think they enjoyed "punching" thr throttle.

You can enjoy a ride like that anytime you want. Just fly from Pueblo, Colorado to Denver. Guaranteed roller coaster ride even in clear weather! Done that short route many times and it's always crazy because of the nearby mountain air currents and they never gain much altitude in such a short flight. And there are always a few people in there who haven't felt turbulence like that before and they start hollering or screaming. I never say anything, but would like to say "Say, what's the big idea! Pull yourself together man!"

Flew out of IAH one morning on the way to DEN on a United 737-900. Couple of bad cells around, and we were delayed an hour waiting for decent enough WX to get off the ground. Pilot found a window and we got airborne. When we got roughly over Dallas, the air finally smoothed out. For 45 minutes or so, I have never experienced such bad air. Up, down, side to side. You name it. I came very close to losing my breakfast, and I NEVER get sick.

I think I was on this flight!! Heading to CVG. Was a rough ride but the pilots had a great landing in rough weather at CVG as well. Got there quicker than usual trying to get through the storm! Flight attendant made a joke at the end of the flight saying “ not bad for a pilot working from home” and no one laughed lol. Then again this could be a completely different flight than what I’m talking about lol

Amazing capture. Whether you go through that more often than not, it isnt something people are comfortable with - even pilots. But all you can do is put a brave face on when you find yourself in it - and these planes can handle a good tossing around. Probably the best turbulence (esp near storms) video ive seen!

Had a similar experience flying a short hop flight from Doha to Manama. It was fine for the first 10 minutes then we flew into the thunderstorms and then it wasn’t. The guy in the aisle seat as I was by the window said after we landed actually thought his number was up. They delayed flights out of Manama by at least an hour as the thunderstorms passed. Once we took off agin flying back to the uk you could see the thunderstorm off in the distance. It was like a fireworks display.

Quite the ride. With the wing bouncing like it did, I'm sure you and the other passengers were bouncing around as well. Amazing how air can be so rough.

Good job on the filming. I would not have been able to keep as calm as you! I hate turbulence, and that was some scary shit!

Awesome views of lightning. Wild weather!

I used to have to fly a lot for work. I can feel the sensations watching the video and listening to the passengers. If there were room, I'd share several quite scary experiences I had over the years, but I will post one... I was on SWA from Salt Lake to Las Vegas in very unsettled weather, so it was basically bumpy already. But midway through the trip, apparently the captain noticed a cabin pressure drop. Without warning he put that plane in a dive. I was seated near the back and remember hearing people screaming and watching unsecured items fly into the air in the cabin. He brought the plane down to no more than maybe 12,000 - 14,000 feet, and we finished the trip. The flight attendant told all continuing passengers to deboard in Las Vegas saying "this plane's done for the day." Believe me, that story is just one of multiple I've experienced -- some with weather and others with malfunctions. Planes are mechanical devices designed and built by man. They are amazing and incredibly safe, but they are not infallible, nor are those that operate them. You are always better off to carry good life insurance when you fly. You will likely never experience anything threatening, but it will always be possible.

Scariest flight I’ve ever been on was Denver to Phoenix. Didn’t fly carefree for a decade after that

I waited on taxiway in a plane for 2hrs once-in a Tornado warning in Dallas. I wanted to just get off the plane. It was so hot in there. Finally they changed runways and took off in a different direction. The pilot kept us informed of everything the entire time. Sometimes a lite too much information. Talking about downdrafts or updrafts whatever they’re called. Then we finally got cleared for takeoff. There was a big line of planes taking off. I was a little nervous but I’ll tell you what…that was the smoothest takeoff ever!! Awesome pilot!! Which makes a huge difference!

Flew out of BWI many times when I lived in Baltimore. One flight on American we got up to probably 1-2000 feet and went straight to downwind/base then final. Engine fire in number one. Captain shuts down the engine. We land with engine number two. Smoothest flight ever.

i love flying and am a private pilot but i admit if i was on this flight i would have a little nervous....unless i was flying it lol. it is amazing how much turbulence planes can take way way beyond this with no damage. they are made to flex A LOT.... but still flying through lightning with moderate turbulence and you can’t see anything and you’re not in the cockpit flying the plane is kind of nerve-racking! I bet the pilots had fun though since they’re in control lol

@miketea8074

Becoming a pilot made it worse for me, for the exact reasons you mentioned. Not being able to see out the cockpit window and not being in control lol. Questioning in my mind every decision the pilot is making.

Imagine being on your first 17 hour international business flight from Columbia, SC to Atlanta, then straight on to Shanghai Pudong. The flight was calm until we flew over Detroit, Canada, Alaska, and Siberia during a severe winter storm. Turbulence was brutal until we got over the pacific.

This is the channel I have been looking for as i am a huge fan of videos from inside airplanes

If you’ve ever swam in the ocean and have been tumbled by a crashing wave then that is exactly what the airplane feels when it is flying through extreme turbulent eddies (vortexes). The air is rotating in chaotic unsteady fluctuations. The bigger the crashing wave the harder it is to fight against it.

This really is incredible footage. The lighting flashes from inside the clouds are awesome to watch….when I’m safe on the ground.

Listen to those engines ✈️ I love it!

Really enjoyed watching this, thank you!

I have to say, whatever your used to record this picked up the sounds of the flight beautifully.

One of the bumpiest approaches I ever had I was seated next to a lady from the Air Force. She slept the whole time…. Figured if she woke up I’d start worrying

Nothing to be scared about the pilots wouldn’t do anything they think is unsafe

Lol I do. My wife's so afraid of flying we drive everywhere.

I remember taking a Delta L-1011 red eye from ATL to MIA in the early '90's. We were over the Everglades about ten mins out from runway 13 when the FA came on telling everyone to buckle up and put everything away. Next thing you know there was a huge flash of lightning near the plane and all the lights went out in the cabin. You can imagine the reaction. We spent the next few mins banking steeply between the clouds with lightning everywhere while we were in the dark. I didn't think the L-1011 was as agile as it proved to be. It wasn't until we almost touched down that we got out of that mess. I have to say I've never been on a roller coaster that exciting.

My first flight ever in 2000, it was one of the worst weekends for weather that summer. We were going to Pittsburgh and had to divert to Cleveland. We sat there for a few hours and ended up taking off again. We get to Pittsburgh and they'd shut the airport down again. The captain said we were landing anyway. We landed in pretty heavy rain and maybe some lightning.

bro i could literally feel this takeoff, i could even taste the gum i would be chewing for the pressure change

I was petrified in just watching the video. I would not have been able to record because my hands would have been shaking from fear! No kidding. Thank you so much for sharing.

This is a lot more common than people think. As a pilot myself, I've flown through similar situations. Just rely on your training and experience and you'll be ok.

Can be scary in flight for some people. I remember we were once on approach for Kuala Lumpur airport.
