#1 way to stay safe during turbulence on a flight: Keep your seatbelt on. The only time you need to take it off is when using the toilet and leaving the plane.

[@lawrenceleverton7426]

First off avoid the flying and thus avoid the turbulence.

How to stay safe during turbulence on a flight as a passenger; wear your seat-belt while seated. As a passenger, you can’t fly the jet or do anything else!

[@larrysouthern5098]

Most airliners fly up in the high altitude of the JET STREAM which is traveling hundreds of miles per hour usually the air is very stable but you can hit a "bump" every so often...these jets travel 300 to 500 mph..usually no problem..I like how the pilot.....Capt, Eiensetler,,,explained this problem...I would fly on her Jet anytime...Be safe and enjoy your flight!!! ( fasten your seat belts..)..

KEEP YOUR SEATBELT ON!!

[@user-yy9hk9od9u]

Always have the seat belt on when seated. You can end up on the roof and crash down.

[@WalkiTalki]

They still haven't totally fixed the software issue that has complete control of the elevators. Any maneuver that requires fast concise control of the elevators remains unaccessable to the pilot. Boeing can't pay a millionare CEO $33million per year if they just go around spending hundreds of dollars fixing something that shouldn't have been built to begin with.

[@PS2Sniper]

Fasten your seatbelt, put the table up, and pray. 🙏🏻

[@lawrenceleverton7426]

Too bad you can no longer smoke. A smoke actually calms you down.

Very good advice Thank you Captain.🙏🙏🙏

[@user-zk3nh8mb7e]

How about not flying through a thunderstorm!

[@jamesmuehlbauer4187]

It's called DONT FLY ON BOEING. PERIOD

[@juliew.2165]

Pilots don't lye to passengers, if we lost a door still telling everyone it's nothing. RE-assuring passengers he's trying to land, & follow safety guideline. Inform everyone on board what is the best practice, & expect ALL to stay in seat, brace, & calm.

[@Rick-qf5de]

Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing... !!! 😮

[@franklin9400]

By not crashing. Like what used to happen. 🤯

[@budantessarajan4247]

Why airplanes are dependent on human judgement on climate during Mid Air flights ?? Safety is most important in airlines, what the hell that artificial intelligence technology making billions, but can't present airlines accidents

[@islandbirdw]

This is simple, always wear your seatbelt when seated.

[@latan1621]

Besides wearing crash helmets, we need to buckle up at all times except visits to the loo. 😂

[@ZABD306]

Other aircraft in the vicinity deviated due huge weather build up as per Flight Radar. SIA flew right through it. Now blame goes to global warming and other strange stories.

[@jaimegutierrez5520]

Put the seat belt..

How to stay safe during turbulence on a flight: Not get on a Boeing plane

[@Black_Caucus]

TRUE

[@perla5921]

Can someone explain what the issue is with boeing. It's in all the comments

[@riding4beers889]

I have bad news for you. Thousands of Boeing planes arrive safely every single day. You believe your own false narrative.

[@anitaklara7428]

I’m so scared of turbulence thst I always keep my seatbelt on! I will be now even more scared to go to washroom … and surely won’t be streching my legs anymore .

[@bobfeller604]

I always keep my seatbelt fastened, I don't want to bounce off the ceiling.

[@grapesoder1301]

Step 1: scream in terror

[@shahrulamar5358]

That is why i never board any airplane. ✈️✈️

[@charoenpongsompinit6051]

During Vietnam War large numbers of Americans aircraft were down caused of Southern Asia weather and I’m wondering why another airline was awarded that route to north only Singapore airlines were driven true south direction to Singapore

[@bmatt64]

Did they say strap- in or strap-on?

[@stevenjohnson8507]

Just two words--seat belt.

[@awumbah]

Was there anything new of substance here? Airlines do remind passengers to stay buckled up at all times!

[@user-rd3bv7qu3i]

I would open the emergency door and jump out in that situation. it's an emergency, after all.

[@girijanair348]

Jump out from 6,000 feet?

Airbus should sue. Airbus had nothing to do with the incident stop showing the Airbus and show the damn Boeing even as an American we gotta call out our companies. I want Boeing to do better they need to do better. This was a result of a system malfunction not warning the pilots.

[@Risingofthephoenix]

Boeing murdered 2 whistleblowers I think that ship has sailed on them doing better.

[@cactustree505]

The best way to have a safe flight is to stop flying on a Boeing. This flight was a Boeing 777

[@jtusmc19]

This happens to any airplane manufacturer , any school child knows this.

[@MrBostonrobb]

I don't feel sorry for people who don't wear the seat belt. Simple as that.

[@RA-wp6th]

You expect people to stay seated for an 18 hour flight?

[@jerrythompson7744]

pray a plug door don't come off a Boeing 737 during flight
