Terrifying moment turbulence causes panic as food and drink thrown around plane
An influencer has shared a video of a terrifying turbulence that caused panic among passengers on a plane, with food and drinks thrown everywhere around the cabin.
Diana Assis, from Brazilia, Brazil, was travelling from Luanda in Angola to Portugal when the captain warned that they would likely experience severe turbulence.
The contact creator filmed scene inside the cabin, showing that food and belongings were left scattered all over the floor.
In the footage, she appears to laugh as the plane starts to vibrate, but the laughter suddenly stops when a severe jolt spills the contents of her wine glass, splashing onto the ceiling as people are screaming in terror.
