The Spin

Narrative A

This terrifying incident proves why safety protocols must be followed at all times. Passengers without seatbelts were violently thrown against the ceiling by sudden turbulence, highlighting the critical importance of wearing seatbelts whenever possible throughout flights. It’s no wonder that 80% of injuries from turbulence happen to crew members, who are often moving through the cabin and aren’t secured.
