people are told to keep seat belts fastened,although not many listen as sometimes even the cockpit crew is taken by surprise..if a flight attendant was injured,obviously the turbulance came very unexpectedly..its good news not more were injured,and the sudden drop is like being on a rollercoaster and not having the bar hold you down as it plunges! by the way, the actor matthew mcconaugahay and his wife were on board, and she was interviewed about it and showed some cell phone footage of what the interior looked like..not fun!
