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

they tell you to keep your seatbelts fastened for a reason, and you cannot tell me that all of those people needed to be up and about out of their seats.

For those of you that have not been in a car for 50 years, those belty thinks on eas side of you seat are for your safety. You don't want to be "thrown clear" from an airplane.

Knowing my luck I'd be on the toilet!

I see the DM toned down its original version of this article, shouting about broken spines. Now it's just "suspected broken bones". Tabloid sensationalism as per

Seatbelts!

Always keep belted while seated.

And as usual, the instantaneous popular cry is that the turbulence is all Aeroflot's fault. The crew should have seen it coming, or some similar idiocy. People, listen up: Airlines and airline crew don't control the weather. If you go up there, you're going to find some, sooner or later. Can't tolerate it? Stay on the ground.

Wear safety belts at all times ,if it was me and that happened id be like BELT BELT BELT even if i had it on turbulence is not fun nope.

I always keep my seat belt on at all times while in the air.

Always makes me wonder why passengers ignore the pilot when there is turbulence. I'm sure they're just plain stupid.

I'm afraid that like it or not you are best advised to always keep the belt fastened - even if it isn't tightly on, it's still protection. I bet these people with broken bones were the ones who hadn't kept it on or were out of their seats for whatever good reason. But when sitting it is alwasys advisable to keep it on.

That's why they ask you to keep your seat belt loosely fasted all through the flight!

Perhaps international airline rules should require seat belts to be used at all times. I can remember being on a flight hit by sudden turbulence and it was pretty frightening.

They tell you to always keep your seat belt on.

They should have worn their seat belts!

Seat belts. At all times on a plane

I try to reserve an aisle seat as I have an injured knee but am alarmed at the heavy cabin baggage which passengers struggle to life into the overhead compartments - almost knocking you on the head as they do it. In times of turbulence of course these cases will fall out. Passengers should be made to put heavy cases into the hold but it always boils down to money. Cheap = danger

So, there is ZERO evidence that ANYBODY has a broken spine, yet the DM manages to put that in its headline!

You keep your seat belt on then some numpty who didn't think the rules applied to him and didn't buckle up comes somersaulting down the cabin and lands on your head. The buckles should be wired into the warning system just like a car and people who ignore the lights and warnings without good reason (toilet visit)should be fined for endangering other passengers.

SEAT BELT, always, always... turbulence can happen anywhere, and in the pan Asia waters humidity is immense.
