AN S80 CABIN TEAM IS INJURED WHEN THE FLT RUNS INTO SEVERE TURB ON DSCNT INTO PHL; PA.

Narrative

ON APCH INTO PHL; WE HIT A COUPLE OF MODERATE TURB JOLTS. I SAT DOWN ON THE FLOOR. THEN WE HIT 2-3 SEVERE TURB JOLTS. PAX GRABBED MY ARMS. I CAME UP OFF THE FLOOR 8-10 INCHES. PAX MADE SCREAMS/NOISE OF SURPRISE. 1 PAX WAS IN FIRST CLASS LAVATORY. I CRAWLED TO LAVATORY AND SHE CAME OUT APPARENTLY ALRIGHT. I THEN WENT THROUGH THE ACFT CHKING ALL OTHER PAX. ALL PAX WERE OK AND FASTENED IN. WHEN I GOT TO THE AFT GALLEY AREA; I WITNESSED DEBRIS ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND A PAX HELPING #2 FLT ATTENDANT UP OFF THE FLOOR AND GETTING HER SEATED. THE #4 FLT ATTENDANT WAS CALLING THE COCKPIT TO TELL THEM AND SHE MADE A PA TO THE PAX TO STAY SEATED. SHE WAS LAYING ON THE FLOOR AT THE GALLEY AREA OF THE L-HAND EMER EXIT. SHE SAID SHE HIT HER HEAD AND HER TAILBONE HURT. I GOT HER INTO A SEAT. 4 PAX VOLUNTEERED TO HELP CARE FOR THEM. #2 FLT ATTENDANT HAD AN INJURED FOOT. I WENT BACK THROUGH THE CABIN RECHKING PAX. AND I MADE A PA REQUESTING IF THERE WERE ANY FLT ATTENDANTS TRAVELING AND EXPLAINED TO PAX WE HAD 2 INJURED FLT ATTENDANTS. NO TRAVELING FLT ATTENDANTS ON BOARD. BEFORE MAKING PA; I TALKED TO COCKPIT AND TOLD THEM WE NEEDED AN AMBULANCE AND THE DEGREE TO WHICH FLT ATTENDANTS WERE INJURED AND NO PAX WERE INJURED. I THEN SET ABOUT TO CLEAN UP GALLEY AREAS SO WE COULD LAND. CARTS WERE MISALIGNED IN THE CART HOUSING AREA (A KILTER). I ALSO HANDED OUT PAPER TOWELS TO THOSE THAT NEEDED THEM BECAUSE OF DRINK SPILLS. WE LANDED UNEVENTFULLY BUT IT TOOK US QUITE A WHILE TO GET IN TO THE GATE (5-10 MINS). AMBULANCE/EMT'S ARRIVED TO TAKE FLT ATTENDANTS OFF. BOTH FLT ATTENDANTS WERE RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL AND WE ALL DEADHEADED HOME THE NEXT DAY. #2 AND #4 FLT ATTENDANTS WENT TO ACR MEDICAL AFTER ARRIVING. TURB IS A FACT OF LIFE IN AIR TRAVEL. I DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED. ALL I KNOW IS WHEN I FEEL PRETTY GOOD JOLTS; I SIT/SQUAT ON THE FLOOR TILL I FEEL IT'S OVER. I'D RATHER LOOK RIDICULOUS SITTING ON THE FLOOR THAN HIT THE CEILING AS THE OTHER FLT ATTENDANTS DID. ONE OF THE FLT ATTENDANTS WAS EVEN SITTING IN A PAX SEAT WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED.
