When flying wear you seat belt - 727Sky - 05-23-2024
With over 50 years of flying I have never hit turbulence like this. I did hit some serious stuff at 45,000 Feet once upon a time but it did not result in an upset or loss of control of the aircraft.
This incident as reported involved clear air turbulence (CAT) which was evidently Severe. At 37,000 and all clear you do not expect such a thing to happen unless the winds aloft are unusually strong and even then it is rare.

How soon before they blame "climate change?"
Nearly a century of commercial flight... and people didn't ever get physically mangled by turbulence.
Can't be the pilot right? It can't be that the most "cost efficient" route took them through a less predictable flight environment? It can't be that, right?
