I don't think I would pay $5-$10 to rent a movie on a flight, but I would pay that much to rent the internet. I wonder what the bandwidth will be... That is a good deal, in my opinion.

I found you by Googling around looking for reports. After the initial couple jolts the plane nosed down at a pretty steep angle and turned at the same time. That could account for quite a bit of the 1,800 ft? Based on the noise, I suspect many passengers thought we were going to crash. I thought the pilot was trying to get out of the area as fast as he could. I have never felt such strong jolts on a plane and hope never to feel them again! I was on that flight.

Perhaps someone else could chime in. 1,800 divided by 60 is 30 feet per second. Seems like a lot, indeed. Carl

I am curious that a commercial jet can drop that much. I thought a plane couldn't really drop more than 10 or 20 feet at a time, even in the worst turbulence? I think its possible to drop more than that flying in the middle of thunderstorms, though commercial jets dont do that. Thank You. Hello,
