Narrative

FLT EXPERIENCED SEVERE AIR TURB. I HAD JUST WALKED TO MONITOR AT 2R DOOR. I WAS FACING AFT ABOUT TO RE-SET MONITOR. VERY SUDDENLY THE ACFT STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. I LOOKED FOR SOMETHING TO HOLD ON TO. I FELT MYSELF BEING LIFTED OFF FLOOR. I FOUND AND GRABBED ONTO HAND HOLD AT 2R DOOR WITH MY L HAND. I HAD NO CTL AND WAS FORCED UP TO CEILING; HITTING MY HEAD; BENDING IT FORWARD. I WAS NOW HOLDING ON WITH BOTH HANDS. I WAS USING ALL MY STRENGTH TRYING TO HOLD ON. FOR A SECOND; I COULD SEE 2 FLT ATTENDANTS AT 2L BEING LIFTED OFF FLOOR. I SAW AND HEARD GLASS BREAKING AND FLYING OUT OF BUSINESS CLASS GALLEY OUT INTO AREA I WAS IN. INSERTS; CARTS; FOOD; EVERYTHING THAT WAS IN THE GALLEY WAS THROWN ALL OVER THE FLOOR AND AISLE. SHARDS OF BROKEN GLASS WERE EVERYWHERE. THE TURB WAS VIOLENT AND FAST. I CAME DOWN HARD ON THE 2R DOOR; LNDG ON MY L SIDE ON THE DOOR BUSTLE. THE BACK OF MY HEAD AND NECK HURT. MY L LEG HURT. MY ARMS HURT FROM BEING PULLED AND TRYING SO HARD TO HOLD ON. I COULD NOT MOVE FOR SEVERAL MINS. I FORCED MYSELF UP WHEN I SAW THE #4 IN THE GALLEY. SHE WAS HURT AND COVERED IN MILK AND FOOD. SHE HAD BEEN HURT IN THE BACK AND LEG. #5 AND #7 ALSO CAME TO CHK ON ME. I THEN WENT UP TO FIRST CLASS. PAX IN 2D WAS SCARED. HER 3 YR OLD WAS IN 2G SLEEPING. HE HAD A SEATBELT ON; BUT HAD BEEN LIFTED OFF SEAT. HE HAD STARTED CRYING; BUT SEATBELT KEPT HIM IN SEAT. PAX IN 3D HAD HIS PAPERS THROWN ALL OVER CABIN. THE FIRST CLASS GALLEY HAD BROKEN GLASS; FOOD; CARTS; EVERYTHING IN IT WAS ON THE FLOOR AND BROKEN. THE PAX IN 3D GOT UP TO LOOK. HE SAID 'THIS LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A MOVIE.' HE COULD NOT BELIEVE IT. I WENT TO COACH TO CHK ON THE FLT ATTENDANTS IN BACK. NO PAX WERE HURT THAT I OBSERVED. THE FLT ATTENDANTS WERE VERY SHAKEN. I WENT BACK TO THE FRONT. I SAT IN THE #1 JUMPSEAT AND STARTED TO CALL COCKPIT. ONE OF THE PLTS WAS OUT AND COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT GALLEY LOOKED LIKE. THE CAPT CAME OUT A SHORT TIME AFTER TO SEE AND CHK ON FLT ATTENDANTS. HE STATED HE WOULD LAND IN TJSJ IF WE NEEDED TO. THE CAPT TOLD ME THE COCKPIT WAS A MESS. THEY DID HAVE SEATBELTS ON OR THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT OF THEIR SEATS. THE SEATBELT SIGN WAS ON AT TIME OF TURB.
