Summary
A Cathay Pacific flight plunged twice mid-air during breakfast service, sending passengers and food carts flying and injuring ten people — six crew, four passengers — as turbulence hit without warning. Seatbelt signs were off, and the sudden drops threw everyone around, even sending phones and coffee cups toward the ceiling. Medical staff stepped in to help as the plane headed to Hong Kong, with the pilot attributing the chaos to an unseen thunderstorm cell that appeared too late for radar detection. Those who stayed buckled in emerged unscathed, while Cathay Pacific offers support to all affected. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
