#NBCNews #Hawaii #Turbulence
Pray for all of them and their families
I bet they’ll wear that seatbelt next time! Common sense isn’t that common these days
Ok this happens occasionally worldwide every year. That’s why I always where a seat belt when seated.
there is a REASON one needs to keep belted while seated…
A plane has never crashed due to turbulence in modern times
Clowns without their seatbelts
*After violent turbulence*
“A bit of a turbulence here, can ya where ya seatbelts please, thankyou.”
Why the eff am I watching this before I fly??😅😅😅
This is why I hate flying
That’s what you get for flying
Seatbelts…Wear it…
So infant under 2 should be in a carrier? However airlines let you book a seat for an infant under 2 to be sat on your lap…
And this is why you wouldn’t catch my azz dead on a plane lmaoo
I feel the same
I fly a lot and will never never never ever get used to turbulence. Thank God it was not fatal.
That seatbelt sign will void all lawsuits. Listen to the staff, people. Don’t be stupid Americans.
Why isn’t flight attendants medical certified and paid a little more for it?
Man, I’d be kissing the ground after that!
…. and that’s why we wear our seatbelts now, isn’t it?…😊
Thankfully they landed the plane, prayers for healing and recovery.🙏🏽
I’ve only flown a handful of times but when I do I leave my belt on the whole time. Turbulence scares the crap outta me
Ahhh global warming making flying dangerous lol
This brings a whole new meaning to turbulence……I have never been worried about a water bottle being a threat to my life, until this story.
I am glad everyone made it off the flight alive. May the injured make a speedy recovery.
💜☮
Well unless you were pinned to the ceiling, I’m sure you would’ve been fine regardless.
And this is exactly why I give the “Ohhh I love to travel!” type of people the side eye. I am perfectly satisfied with looking at photos of beautiful far away places. I don’t feel compelled to fly there. I’m not excited about being around tons of ppl in an airport, waiting at baggage claim, & trapped on a plane with crying babies, loud annoying kids, people’s azz in my face when they walk the aisle, or the person behind me sneezing &kicking my seat. NAH. I’M GOOD. 😆 Plus I always come home with a bad cold- which is not good for my asthma 🤒🤧
Sounds like cope to me
@exnecross right lol.
All those things are terrible but I still love travel. When you finally touch down at some far away place, makes the journey worth it.
0:47 probably?!?!
🤦🏾♂️ you would think airlines would have trained medical personnel and an officer of the law on the flight. Why don’t they have these Important things? Is it budget?
I didn’t think you got turbulance at 36000ft… that’s why they fly up there to begin with
I wonder how many people in these situations go to the hospital just so they can sue later on. Side note I think everyone on that flight that got injured not wearing their seat belt should be issued a citation, if I can get a ticket for not wearing one in my car driving 5 mph in a parking lot you should get one when you’re a mile high going s few hundred mph
Everybody so calm afterwards…. Ummmm hmmmmm🤔🤔looks like y’all almost died.🤷🏽♂️
It’s unacceptable that they still allow infants/toddlers to sit on a parent’s lap instead of strapped into a safety seat.
Where’s all my people at ? All my I hate and fear flying people? We have legit concerns now don’t we?
Still have a better chance being injured in a car than a plane.
@Sloppy Syntax yeah but the rub is that in a car accident I’m still on land . Slim chance but maybe I can escape …. Slim chance but in a plane 3000 miles in the air I have no control or chance of walking away. Strictly at the pilot and natures mercy.
This would be my last flight if i was on that plane
Scary the luggage bins are not designed to handle that turbulence. I wonder how many people were injured from suitcases falling from overhead?
So they shouldn’t be able to sue, if they tried, because they weren’t wearing their seat belts.
I wonder if that one person that constantly goes to the bathroom went flying across the plane 😆🤣
Turbulence is generally NOT dangerous. I am not saying this doesn’t happen but it’s nearly always the result or wind sheer and microbursts. If they were supposed to be wearing seat belts and they weren’t then the travelers were irresponsible
I guess I don’t understand “mass casualty” anymore. I thought that meant a lot of casualties?
Did you die tho?
I have flown a lot and have experienced equally bad turbulence .. even losing altitude (this was on a c-17- it was a walking wounded medavac space A flight… scariest moment of life !) and I always keep my seatbelt on and fastened.. air currents are unpredictable and you never know when you will hit a rough patch !! Keep ‘‘em fastened folks !!
Ok
lol
I am glad everyone is okay I would still go to Hawaii don’t care.
Start wearing helmets
I never fly, I’m too scared
So the seat belts were defective?? OH lol these were idiots whom weren’t strapped in….OK now I get it…
stupid people injured because they didn’t wear their seatbelts 😂
Karen’s not wearing a seatbelt
I take long flights like 16 hr ones … never take the seat belts off unless have to go to bathroom .
Overhead compartments should have locks or better retention system. If seat belt light is on why not wear them?
Maybe their 5g affected their detection thing like many in the aviation field warned about. And hey dumbasses sit and buckle up. Cause and effect.
That’s why they have those seatbelt signs. It means keep your seat belt on!
And when they say air travel is the safest form of travel, call bxxxshxt
Complacency kills. I see people go the entire fight including sleeping with no seatbelt. It’s really easy to click it back on after you sit down. Also how do you call it a mass casualty event when no one died?
Elon musk needs to start building planes!
Wowzers
A water bottle did that??!
Lawsuit time
And yet still tv news has nothing to say about the dying oceans that produce 70% of your oxygen. They will die so much faster than you think, threatening all human and animal life. The math is a fact…news will never tell you as they are a ratings/money industry acting like most corporations. Viewers that make them BILLIONS in money are their prime directive. Not truth you need to know. News is truly dead. It’s all money and greed and viewers mostly do not care. They don’t want truth. They want what they want. At least this was not a culture war story that makes up 97% to 99% of all news!
Yea, and everybody I know says don’t be afraid to fly!
It looks so real, but he still has this green sheen on the left side of his face (his left side.) I recommend a purple tint to the soft box.
I don’t like to see the rich get away with it but screw it. Tax evasion 😂 f the system!
THIS is why airplane seatbelts are critical. They won’t save your life if the plane falls out of the sky, but that’s rarely how people are injured or killed on planes! You’re MUCH more likely to die because your seatbelt isn’t on and your head goes through the storage compartment above you.
The news can make anything a near death experience
Hawaii: turbulence or magma
Reminds me never to fly no airplane 🛬 nope not me…
I want to see a camera inside in 4k and slow motion as everything started happening, they need to put the camera inside!!!
People that don’t like to wear seatbelts: 👁️👄👁️
🤯 just another reason why I keep my tail on the ground.
Those pilots need some of appreciation. The fact that they were able to keep control of the plane in that bad of turbulence is an admiral feat under pressure
Thank that’s all that happened! An everyone made it home .
No problem, it’s not like there is climate change right? Mainstream media is a dying dinosaur.
Well, this will keep them from fighting.
I have never been on a plane. This has escalated my fear. I hope everyone recovers quickly.
It’s more safe than cars or trains lol.
@Billy Yank man only if I could afford that transportation!
It just show how aeroplane tech has gone a very long way to ensure flight safety.
The plane passed severe turbulence with flying colors.
Different races of people on that plane flailing around so technically yes, flying colors would sound reasonable
It boggles the mind how many people unbuckle their seatbelts. On short flight I never unbuckle my seatbelt. On long flights only to go to the toilet and when I’m back, it goes on again.
Have no fear folks, there has never been a single flight that crashed due to turbulence alone
I experienced drastic turbulence on a flight recently, and I can tell you – you really feel you’re about to die. There’s a sense of “This is it! Oh my God!”
🤣😂🤣😂
Mrs Sophia is the best, recommending her to all beginners who wants to recover from their losses and gain more like l did through her strategies
She gave her clients nice attention
Thanks to you all for your testimonies, it has helped me greatly l thought the were not real but I will now boldy testify… She’s strategies is awesome
I’m from Brazil, l and two other of my friends tried her immediately we testified, her performing wonders
Most people remain poor only because friends and relatives discouraged and advise them against investing and trading forex while the wis… Read more
Her trading last week was boom
In my opinion it says quite a lot that there are no videos of the turbulence while it was happening. it tells you things were in such disarray people were far more fearful for their lives than getting on social media.
Turbulences are not harmful but of course scary .i also belive
“Seatbelts”…
“Seatbelts”…. AND
“Seatbelts”…..💯
Absolutely true 👍
I don’t understand why people didn’t put their seatbelts on
Well we are meant to fly so this is the risk you take. If we were meant to fly we would have wings.
Good thing I always leave mine on… Mainly just bc it’s a hassle to dig for it when they tell you to put it back on which always seem to end up under someone else’s butt so I leave it on but loose. Now I’m glad I do.
Since humans gained the ability to fly,there has always been turbulence,depending on weather patterns,some one said its because of climate change, you are right,we are transitioning from fall to winter, plus any time you are over the ocean turbulence is even worse,I was flying over lake Michigan, soon as we over water,weather was good but the plane dropped then the plane was able gain stability, scary, yes but I didn’t panic,it was my second time I ever in a plane,getting scared doesn’t help anything.
Not reported was the sub dimensional rip caused by bi-annual Reptilian whale harvesting.
Always Remember. Never Forget. Now build an expensive memorial. 👍
That’s why I never get my belt off! No matter how long the trip is. I mean if cars laws demand sit belts.
Is just commun sense
Lol
Does this news station know what a casualtie is
I can’t believe a water bottle did that kind of damage, maybe another object, but a plastic water bottle even if it’s filled?
I smell a good lawsuit on its way
I never understood why you needed seatbelts during flights, takeoff, and landing. But I guess now I see. Still won’t wear inside planes though
Spirit Airlines isn’t looking so bad now huh?
It almost certainly won’t ever bring the plane down, but turbulence is still dangerous as we can see.
This is why you wear your seatbelt and don’t touch the overhead bins once the aircraft has taken off. I’d bet there would only be 5 injuries or less if that were the case
If you buy a ticket for an infant or toddler in a carseat, the airlines often give that seat to someone else and you are left holding the baby.
This happens when people are unbuckled.
Lol pilots train for this. No one ever cared about turbulence 10yrs ago but somehow, gotta keep people distracted from the way congress is screwing them so here’s some irrelevant news!
It’s called life people. Let’s not overdramatize the trivial.
I’ve been in extreme turbulence before for hours coming from Japan. Also flying over Colorado Rockies.. But I’ve never seen that much overhead damage before.
Lester holt needs to reveal that he is actually Megamind.
Rock on with your bad self 😎🎄
