Is Christine here trying to tell us that we should be worried by turbulence?
- mehrdadn 7y agoYeah I don't get that either... by all accounts I've heard you really shouldn't worry about most turbulence.
- cm2187 7y agoWell depends what we mean by turbulences. Seatbelts are there for a reason. But there is a "winning the lottery" probability to encounter bad enough to be dangerous turbulences on a flight.
- mehrdadn 7y agoI don't think that epsilon probability was what the article was referring to as worrying about turbulences in general?
- qrybam 7y agoI’ve been a passenger on a plane coming in to land from a long haul flight, in heavy crosswinds. The pilot aborted the landing just before touch down on the first attempt. You could see the plane rolling back and forth if you looked out of the window. The plane went up into a holding pattern before attempting and aborting a second time. We were told there was some mild turbulence. I wouldn’t say it was mild, it felt pretty dicey the first time around. With the plane safely on the ground, I asked the crew and they confirmed as much.
