TURBULENCE on Flight BA 244 - Buenos Aires(Ezeiza) to London(Heathrow) 17.06.2012

Part of the video I recorded below was shown on Channel 4- UK series "Terror in the Skies". Aired on 30 June 2013.
link: • Turbulence on flight B...
===============
Less than an hour into the flight and as we were about to be served our first meal. We were flying over the border region of Argentina/Uruguay/Brazil.
The heavy turbulance lasted for an excrutiating 10 minutes.
The pilot told us it was the worst case he experienced in his 30 years career...but he only admitted to that after we safely landed in London 11 hours later.

I usually stare out the window to make sure the wings remain attached.

[@robertwilliamson6121]

Don’t worry.....if the wings detach...you’ll know it pretty quickly.

I also look out of the window to check if its cloudy or not as cloud makes an airplane more turbulent.

[@scottmathews3777]

The time to worry is when oxygen masks start dropping down randomly and overhead compartments pop open. :-)

[@sikter2901]

A flight attendant speaking: The shaking occurs when the aircraft goes through a cloudy weather. So no worries when the plane passes through an area of turbulence next time 😉

[@mofoz8032]

The key to avoid turbulence when traveling is to always book a flight that departs at least 30 min after another flight on the same route. Because if there is turbulence on route, the first planes flight computer will relay the info to the flight path database and the next planes will be routed around or over/under the turbulence.

[@Dan-tj2hk]

How can i be sure that the craft will fly the same route? I mean departure destination is self explanatory but will they fly exactly on the same path? The difficulty is also that there are just not many airlines that go on direct flights from lets say bangkok to vienna. What i would also say is, choose big aircrafts and nightflights

The worst turbulence I ever encountered was on approach to Atlanta via Tampa. I was on a 717 Air tran at the time. We dropped 300 ft during a storm it literally felt like being in an elevator that was free falling. I still remember the pilot jockeying the engine's.

The worse turbulence I ever went through was from Toronto to London Heathrow. The plane left an hour late because the weather was so bad that the flight crew arrived late. We still took off and for 3 hours we bounced around. It was the worse turbulence I have ever been in. Two people had heart attacks and the tail winds were so strong that we ended up doing the flight in 5 hours. Somewhere over the mid-Atlantic it was over and the flight attendants didn't even ask people what they wanted to drink. They threw mini bottles around. We landed and ambulances came to the plane and removed the heart attack victims. We don't know what happened to them. I have never been so afraid in all of my life.

I think what would help a lot of anxious people is hearing something from the pilots more often. I know they have a lot on their minds while flying a plane, and talking to the passengers would be a distraction, but simply saying "hey guys we're hitting turbulence but everything is fine" would calm everyone down. On every flight I've been on there has been turbulence, never heavy but sometimes mild, and I've never EVER heard a word from the pilots or the crew, neither before we hit turbulence, nor while the plane was shaking nor when the turbulence stopped. You hear them give their speech at the beginning of the flight and then they disappear until the plane touches down

yep, I am pretty sure they are busy but they should definitely do this - it will help a lot to all passengers.

I'd rather the pilots just focus 100% of their attention on flying the plane. Anything they do in addition to that - including making an announcement to the passengers - distracts them from the most important task at hand.

I recently got over my fear of flying last year when I went on my first ever flight to San Juan from Newark (ewr) , and I loved every minute of it and couldn’t wait to fly back .

And it was by far the most terrifying moment of my life, when we landed everyone started cheering and clapping

I would never have survived it. I hate turbulence. I would have been the one placed in handcuffs for screaming that we're all gonna die!!! Then had a heart attack before we touched down.

+Semoine Sykes I'm the same way. Massive anxiety, even though I logically understand what it is....can't deal with it.

[@jazzymoni7750]

Give it up for Jackson Heights own, Mr. Randy Watson IKR??? My dad is an engineer & he always explains flight dynamics, and I listen. But when the plane starts jumping, all logic flies out the window of my mind. Can't deal.

[@Jackson_Hts_Mr_Randy_Watson]

Semoine Sykes I think I'm probably a bit claustrophobic. When that plane shakes, my first thought is "I gotta get out of here." But yea...no can do, haha. (Breathes into paper bag.) Luckily I like to drive. But eventually I'd like to get over to Europe etc! They're going to have to knock me out.

It's a shame most people don't realise turbulence, for the most part, is completely safe. Just adds to the thrill!

[@ssww1976]

There are a few books on fear of flying out there which might be able to help a little. They explain why turbulence happens and how the plane is designed to withstand it. If you have a fear of flying like me then they’re a useful thing to have when travelling. It’s not going to cure your anxiety in one go but a bit of knowledge might be able to reassure you when it starts getting bumpy…

Can you recommend one of them? By the way, what makes me scared the most is having a bad thoughts that the pilot are not experienced enough to get through the turbulence.

I had a bad night flight from Memphis, Tn to Atlanta, Ga a few years back. It was on a regional jet. Maybe 30-40 seats. The plane was mostly empty with maybe 10 passengers. After boarding, the pilot announced that we would be going through turbulance and that there would be no drinks or snacks served and that we needed to stay seated for the entire flight. After this announcement, two guys sitting next to each other seated behind me and on the opposite side of the plane were joking about how fun it was going to be. Saying things like "it will be just like a roller coaster". Both their wives were sitting together in the next row up from them were telling them to be quiet. It was less than an hour flight, but it was by far the worst flight I have ever been on. The turbulance started maybe 15 minutes after we took off until maybe 5 minutes before we landed. The plane went through drops, bumps, up, down, and even felt like it was moving sideways at times. I was sick as a dog, seriously thought I was about to die, and no one was saying anything. About 30 minutes into the flight, I glanced back at the two couples to see if the guys were enjoying themselves as much as they had boasted before we took off. They were both sitting with their eyes barely visible looking over their wives seats. They both were pale as sheets and had their hands gripping the tops of thier wives seats in a death grip. They looked as scared as everyone else and both of their wives were holding hands and staring at the floor. If I had not been so scared and sick, I guess I might have gotten a bit of satisfaction at seeing the two fellows in that state. When we landed, all of us clapped and while we were waiting to get off the plane, the pilot rang the stewardess to make sure she and the passengers were all OK. As we all got up to get our carry-ons, the stewardess told me that it was the worst turbulance she had ever experienced and that the pilot said the same thing. Turbulance sucks!

[@Love2loveu00]

I hate that drop feeling 😣 then you feel it pulling back up higher.

[@likebotting784]

usually the “drops” are caused by updrafts in clouds. basically plane shoots up, then the autopilot fights that bc it’s trying to maintain whatever altitude is set by pushing the plane back down. feels scary but you’re 100% safe

I was in turbulence similar to this footage, from a return trip from Calgary to Toronto. The turbulence lasted a whole hour and it was terrifying! ( for me at least) some were sleeping through it while others were holding hands.

My dad's an aerospace engineer and has worked in plane industry for over 40 years. I remember him saying there has only been 2 times or so in history of modern commerical aviation that a plane has crashed due to turbulence, both of them were back in the 60's as the planes then were not as structurally intact as they are today. Judging by this seating arrangement I think this is a 777-300er of which thus far have never crashed due to turbulence.

Trust me it works and this is what I do all the time.
