off-topic Flight turbulence

[Lord Severus]

Usually, I am not afraid of flight turbulence much because most of them are manageable and after so many years of the industry running with experiments, things have finally settled down with airlines being tightly regulated.

However, I would like to know more about a flight turbulence episode that scared you.

For me, when I was travelling from UAE to India, my flight fell into what is known as a 'turbulence pit'. Untill then, the flight was very smooth, but suddenly, it fell into a depth in the sky and my head hit the ceiling. That was really really scary for me.

I travelled by air from Lagos to Accra. And mid air, the plane struggled to pick up momentum for few minutes. The crew announced that they are having difficulties because of the weather. They reminded the passengers of the possible emergency actions to take in case it all comes to that. I really was scared of it all.
