Flying the Turbulent Skies

You saw that a jet from D.C. on its way to California hit significant turbulence, had to land in Colorado to get 20 injured passengers to the hospital?

So, anything even close to this ever happened to you?

I was on a Northwest flight from Minneapolis to San Francisco. At that time, they served a lunch menu matched to your destination. For San Francisco, it was a soba salad. Out of the blue, no warning, the plane lurched - whomp! - to the left, sending noodles high into the air. We lost enough altitude to feel it in the pit of the stomach. Thank heavens it was lunchtime so we were all in our seats. The injuries were bumped forearms and other little minor things. The captain handled the passengers really well, explaining to us that it was an unpredicted windsheer and he would get us out of it quickly, which he did.

Your turn!
