  1. Seeing lights flashing during rough turbulence really adds to the frightening experience. Also, the plane landed with a cracked windshield! Those were some crazy obstacles. So glad the plane made is safely

  2. Its part of the new weather.The new giant hail storms.

  3. How did the hale not get sucked into the jet engines?

  4. Pilot's can see that weather on their radar so why on earth would they choose to fly through it?

  5. That footage is truly frightening. With all the available technology it baffles me that neither the pilots nor air traffic control foresaw the danger which lied ahead or at least failed to act to keep the passengers safe. A thorough investigation is definitely warranted. In any case, thank goodness for the skill of the pilots and the strength of that plane.

  6. I would love to know who was the pilot that God used to save those passengers.

  7. why did they leave under these conditions. #FAA

  8. "Brace for Impact" something that you never want to hear

  9. Holy crap!! Like a horror movie!

  10. i was on a flight like that once flying from the east to west coast on a night with multiple winter storms across the country. we had to land in Utah due to burning too much fuel fighting the winds….those 2 servings of gin I ordered at the beginning of the flight but didn't get around to drinking, really came in handy when it started getting dicy

  11. How did the pilots not know that they were flying through a thunderstorm. Don’t they have radars for that? It sounds like someone didn’t make the right call that could’ve avoided the situation.

  12. I'm a pilot, I see bad weather, I ain't going nowhere, fire me at this point.

  13. Passengers so terrified,many pants were full ,for sure

  14. WTF!!! Why would you ever fly in those conditions?? Reckless!!

  15. Those pilots are champions!

  16. Next time avoid thunderstorms

  17. It should have never taken off again, thank God they were all OK. Flying is just too dangerous and problem-filled anymore, it's not worth it.

  18. Omg that would be absolutely terrifying

  19. It's gotta be terrible I made shure to land wherever it is

  20. Sometimes is better to pay a bit more and flight with good airlines. Always go American in the air…

  21. Praise God! Thank u to the pilots who did their job well. Glad they're all safe.

  22. If they hadn’t taken off, you know some customers would complain

  23. Why didn’t the liberal media blame the pilots for forcing this marginalized group of people to go through such a triggering event?

  24. Engineers and mechanics are more heroic then union pigs . Youll remember that soon

  25. Those pilots deserve everything and more …

  26. Well I want those pilots on all my future flights

  27. Average spirit flight

  28. So pilot tilts the plane slightly towards the ground and decreases throttle and lets it roar or does he attempt to go above the clouds?
    Good job 💯👍

  29. Goes to show you how resilient and strong planes are!

  30. What's with so many problems and near disasters with planes recently???

  31. I've been in one plane T777 from Japan bound to Brazil 🇧🇷
    Was horrible turbulence I thought we all gonna died
