Reply to comment by Risley in Five injured after 'severe turbulence' on United Airlines flight into Houston by kittehstrophic

During a flight we hit a big spot of turbulence and even with my seatbelt on I still felt like I was levitating out of my seat. Everything rattled so loud it sounded like the plane was being torn apart. I would have loved to see how much we dropped in that first 30 seconds, haha! It was a crazy ride. Keep that seatbelt on at all times!

The interesting part is USUALLY you don’t drop much. Turbulence is kind of like riding waves in the ocean. You more feel the plane pitch up and down, but you don’t gain or lose much altitude in most situations
