When is Turbulence DANGEROUS?!

As my father said, " there's only 2 emotions on a flight, boredom or terror"

The pup is thinking “there he goes again talking to himself” 🤣

As a control freak, the only thing that scares me is the fact that I am not flying the plane and seeing what's happening in the cockpit. :)

Our flight once hit a very nasty patch of turbulence over the Pacific. I think for many nervous passengers it's not knowing whether the pilots have it all under control. This particular crew was great about this as one pilot talked to the cabin throughout the episode. Hearing how calm and unbothered he was instantly assured everyone and the cabin settled despite the violent shaking and rocking.

I absolutely HATE turbulence...and when the captain says "cabin crew return to your seats" I freak out i silence.

As long as the cabin crew is serving I’m fine..when they disappear to their seats I know we’re gonna be rocked!!

I cant stop looking at his dog with his back turned to him.🤣

Flight SQ 321, 777-300ER Heathrow to Changi, Singapore, severe Air Turbulence incident with one dead and 30 injured earlier this afternoon (GMT+8 time zone) with emergency landing at Bangkok, Tuesday May 21st 2024 brought me here..... Thank you Mentour

I am not afraid of flying, I am afraid of suddenly not flying

I'm a retired 777 Captain and I really enjoy your presentations You are very good at explaining things Great job. Skip

I'm slowly getting over my fear of flying. When I know what to expect, I'm calmer. Thanks so much, MenTour Pilot

No, my biggest fear is maintenance.

The only turbulence I like is when we are coming down to land and flying through the clouds I know why the turbulence is happening and I know I'm getting closer to the ground but it's the only time I'm calm on an aircraft.

I find my anxiety gets better when I know what is going on! Knowing what you guys do helps that, thank you cap 🌝

The man who loves animals can only be a good person; and when highly intelligent on top of it...oh wow, what a catch! Great presentation!

On a long haul flight to Australia we had some moderate to severe turbulence. Unfortunately it happened just as I had sat on the toilet. Someone banged on the door and ordered me to my seat. I have mobility difficulties and I knew that if I stood up I would fall. I just had to sit there and hang on to the toilet and wait for it to calm a bit, then make my way to my seat as fast as I could. Please could someone consider putting emergency seat belts that can be used in this sort of emergency whilst sitting on the toilet. I'm not joking this was an awful, scary and dangerous experience, although I can see the funny side now. 🤗

I just wish pilots would say SOMETHING to the passengers just to give them some reassurance that everything is ok and all is well etc..Or else we expect the worst not knowing whats going on

Puppy stole the show...adorable.

Turbulence has been the number 1 reason why I get nervous and scared on flights. It has taken me years of working on myself, to a) understand and accept that it is normal, and b) to be able to experience it and stay relaxed. It's still work in progress, but I'm getting there. And this video was a very helpful reminder of why it is normal, what it is, and also that the bits of turbulence that I experienced as horrible, were never more than Moderate. Thank you !

Another very important thing for the Pilots to do when having turbulence is TALK TO YOUR PASSENGERS! A big part of aerophobia is fear of loosing control, they cant see what going on in the cockpit. Just keep them informed on what is happening and most people will be much more calmer.
