Turbulence!

Filed under: China, Pilots, safety — anne @ 7:12 am

Scary story about a China Airlines 747 hitting some turbulence about 20 minutes before landing in Bangkok.

And this is turbulence with a capital “T” - 32 people were injured, including two people who had “spine injuries”.

And yes, it does sort of remind me of that eerie book by Michael Crichton - Airframe - except I sincerely doubt this China Airlines pilot allowed his kid to take over the controls — like the one in the book did.

Nope - this was a case of turbulence - as well as a great reminder to keep your seatbelt buckled.

Seriously.
