Haven't flown in a long time. I like big planes with many engines and lots of co pilots. Of course hot flight attendants. Maybe a wine at 30 thousand feet on my way to a fun vacation.

Dangerous Clear Air Turbulence Strikes Again . . .

Susan Zimmerman was among the passengers on board Lufthansa Flight 469 when it encountered the severe turbulence on Wednesday.

Zimmerman, who is from Austin and five months pregnant, told CNN she had just finished eating and was about to go to the lavatory when the turbulence hit.

“During dinner service, there suddenly was a wind shear, the plane increased altitude, then we fell 1,000 feet,” she said.

“It was like unexpectedly free-falling for five seconds off the top of a rollercoaster, plates and glassware were up at the ceiling, and my purse from the floor flew behind me to the right.”

She noted that on two occasions the plane felt like it was dropping suddenly and she could hear people screaming and glass breaking.

“I’m glad for the most part we are all OK. This was pretty shocking,” said Zimmerman. “There was a moment of ‘oh my God, am I going to meet my daughter.’”

Once the plane settled, she said items from the dinner service had been littered throughout the cabin as though there had been a food fight on board.
