A Boeing 777 plane suddenly got into the zone of strong turbulence before starting to descend

I can't believe some people are saying children shouldnt be on planes. They are equally entitled to travel, go on holidays and have fun with their families just like adults. People complain about the oppression of women by other religions, but dont realise that they are prejudice and oppressive too. Should babies and children be banned from buses and trains too? Why is the world so mean hearted and selfish. Anyway hope everyone is ok.

And this is why strapping in during flights is important. It's explained before take off - but for the idiots around you, reading magazines and newspapers during the safety briefing is so much more important.

That's what happens when you ignore the advice the cabin crew give you. It is ridiculous that the amount of hand luggage people are allowed is not more strictly enforced.

Many years back I was on a jumbo over the South China Sea, everything was calm and appeared to be fine, all of a sudden the plane just fell out of the sky! It was like those scenes you see in space films with people and food trays floating around the cabin. I hit my head on the ceiling and my food tray and glass of wine ended up on an elderly priest in front of me. A large piece of machinery (possibly to do with the aircon) broke away from the ceiling and landed on an empty seat nearby, had anyone been sat there, they would have been badly injured or worse! When the plane hit the bottom of the air pocket it felt like it was hitting the ground, everyone thought the thing would break apart. I wouldn't fly Aeroflot but it can happen to anyone.

Caused by a lack of common sense. When you are in your seat, keep your seatbelt on. Simples.

What really bugs me is the parents who let their kids run up and down the aisles. Serious accidents waiting to happen!!

Turbulence "pockets" are unexpected and sudden. Which is why you are advised to wear your seatbelt at all times. Very bad luck for those who just happened to be waiting to use the lavatory or going up the aisle to stretch their legs. It's a good idea to pay attention to leg exercises that can be done whilst seated for this reason....better than doing nothing.

Why do people not wear seat Belts?? I have seen first hand how dangerous turbulence is and now wear my seatbelt at all times!

I have never experienced bad turbulence whilst flying but after reading this article it makes me wonder why the seatbelt signs are switched off at all.. I will be keeping my belt on myself and my children on all future flights where possible . I wish these people a speedy recovery !

More people walk around planes nowadays because the gap between seats in tiny and people cannot sit like that for too long.

I just hope the babies are all ok. X

This is one good reason to make seat belt wearing compulsory during a flight. So unless one is heading to the bathroom, buckle up should be the motto.

Oddly enough, these stories always reassure me about flight. If turbulence is severe enough to do all of that sort of damage, but the plane still lands just fine, I don't see the need to fear the bumps you hit on nearly every flight.

Nasty incident. Keep your seat belt fastened at all times.

Wear your belt

Nice of the wnkr to walk around and film the injured. Total prt.

IT ALWAYS pays, for YOUR safety, tto KEEP your seat belt on the WHOLE FLIGHT!

That's why I always keep my seatbelt on at all times I am in the aircraft seat!

When will people learn that the best way to travel is in your seat with the seat belts fastened but loosened so that if the plane suddenly drops you are held down. By not doing this I know of at least one case where a man was killed when the plane suddenly dropped and he came up out of his seat, hit his head on the luggage rack and broke his neck.

Wear your seat belts people!
