Aerochannel Article - TURBULENCE - The Unforgettable Flight

AeroChannel, a new website that predicts how long it will take you to get to the gate of your airplane, has written an article on turbulence.

Explaining the turbulence, the pilot said they had hit a significant amount of windshear on the approaches. On the flight back, Snyder noticed the same crew working onboard the plane. When he mentioned to one of the flight attendants that he had been on the “windshear” flight, her face turned ghostly white. “I’ve never been so scared before,” the flight attendant confessed. And then she said, “I thought we were going to crash.”
