A fascinating but tempestuous piece to consider as FAA works to prevent turbulence injuries.
I, as well as many people, have been through bouts of turbulence while flying without being injured. I’ve been stuck on the toilet 2 times and managed to be safe, 1 of those times I was lifted off of the toilet seat but grabbed the walls to avoid problems. Too many times people disregard the seat belt sign and request and wonder why they have mostly minor aches and pains afterwards. Practically every flight just prior to landing some must retrieve their bags from the overhead so as to make a quicker departure, they should be warned and then Banned. Certain people cannot help themselves but will Sue for their bumps, bruises and worse. Can’t follow orders, no sympathy here!
I flew out going west to NJ several hours after the HAL flight arrived. The crew had to strap in a least 2 times during the flight (it was a 10 hour red eye). My experience is that the Pacific is always somewhat turbulent.
Awesome Captain Dave video LHR-JNB A380. Thank you for posting
Hi Evan.
Thanks. And that wasn’t half as fun as flying with him as the pilot.
Aloha.
NWS said that the statement saying more turbulence is expected due to global warming has no basis in fact.
Global warming is important on its own. This was a poor attempt at correlation.
