Passengers scream and cry as flight battered by powerful storm

A flight to Mallorca was hit by severe turbulence after getting caught up in a powerful storm.

The pilot said the plane was thrown around by cross winds of 80mph as it approached the Spanish island.

This happened once to me. Half of the passengers were screaming, crying and praying. Half of them had real fun, even throwing their hands to the air like on a roller coaster. Well, I have some great anxiety on planes, so I was terrified. But three guys in front of me had the time of their lives. The beauty of differences.

Probably shouldn't be watching this when I'm flying tomorrow morning...

Dude behind just chilling watching the storm out the window 😂

As someone who has traveled over 100 countries. Im still afraid of turbulence.

I had a similar mid air nightmare but surprisingly, it was so quiet, I could hear some sobs and gasps but mostly I just heard people praying. The 2 men next to me were praying feverishly, as I was, then one took my hand and looked me right in the eyes for a moment. I know I felt like we were looking into the last eyes we would ever see. We made it, but I will never forget the stillness inside that plane as we all faced our deaths, nor the man who held my hand til it was over. I've always felt if we died that day, two strangers would have died comforting, and praying for, each other. Whoever he is, I'll never forget him. I'm sobbing right now.😢❤

When I experience bad turbulence on flights, always remember that the number of crashes that have been the result of turbulence, is zero!

The best thing is that the pilots are infront of there like 😎😎🤓😎....😂😂😂😂

If people studied flying they would realize its so safe.

[gizmo]

Those people might not realise it but they are the ones creating panick.

As a pilot who first trained in the mighty DA-20 Katana, this isn't even close to frightening.

It happened to me at least 4 times, as far as I remember. In one of these situations, I was with my mother and she started screaming to the pilot to slow down, I was a bit scared but when my mum said that sentence I started laughing like ceazy...

I’ve been on a flight like this from LA to Wichita. Very scary and has changed my view of flying since then.

Had this experience from Athens to Atlanta in Delta and prayed Psalm 91 .

Me sitting comfortably on my non moving sofa: "ah ha ha what a bunch of silly billies"

Looks more like a theme park ride than a commercial flight. Folks on board must have been terrified for their lives. Poor souls. Glad it turned out ok in the end ❤

Usually there’s a guy up the back shouting “what’s going on”

[juliaellison]

Shout out to pilot I say! Well done than man/woman

I'm sure the screaming and crying really helped the situation.

I've been in a bad turbulence once, where all of the masks fell, the plane was falling and rising and shaking like a roller coaster and everybody was crying and screaming and praying and next to me there was this elderly man sleeping and snoring. Then he opened his eyes and said "oh bugger off", turned to the window and went back to sleep. He was drooling!! I promised God I would stop smoking if I got off of that plane alive, so I did. I don't recall the exact day but it was November of 2001, so there was a bad vibe going on.

This is my favourite type of plane ride - it breaks up the droll monotony of listening to the drone of the engines, breathing in the dry air and listening to people's boring conversations. It's just brilliant!
