    Y'all do know that solar storms also cause severe weather storms here on the planet, right? Notice: About two weeks from the X-class flare event that brought aurora which could be seen throughout the entire country, there is a MASSIVE tornado outbreak! ..And now reports of severe turbulence for flights.

    "It's a rare incident they said. You're less likely to encounter it they said." 😅

    If there’s evidence of more severe turbulence for commercial aircraft, there must also be greater likelihood of structural damage to the aircraft.

    Oh no,, if only aircraft seats had some kind of mechanism that could hold people in their seats and keep them from being tossed around when the aircraft encounters turbulence. Perhaps they could start making seats with some kind of belt attached to them that people could use to secure themselves in their seat.
  • Suspicious. I miss traveling, but I’m glad I’m not going anywhere now. Everything is out of control, the people are weird and lawless, governments are willfully evil, mad scientists are harming everyone, whew. Lord preserve us from evil.

    Stop implying it's Boeing's fault. Btw, I was hurt permanently on an Embraer affected by mountain waves while commuting back and forth from Munich to Bilbao, Spain. I was seated and strapped in, but the side to side jerking motion of the plane hurt my lower back, which has never been the same.
  • Boeing airplane again? NTSB has to really check thoroughly whether there's any flaw of Boeing aircraft

    The troposphere of earth is changing from “friendly” skies to turbulent skies.

    It was a 787 Dreamliner last week Singapore was a 777..Why is it that it’s all Boeing aircraft experiencing severe turbulence..these flexible wings cause a lot of turbulence during windy landings..the only go around I’ve seen due to winds was on a Dreamliner air India at Heathrow ended up diverting ..all the airbus were able to land that day

    I love Qatar Air…they are always kind and helpful and the food is amazing. They feed you so much.

    I'm sorry for those injured, but they were injured in Turkey and continued to their destination? How serious were the injuries?

    How many Boeing planes being uncovered as defective does it take for suspension to go directly to them?
