Severe turbulence on board? Only in this case is it dangerous

In one week, there have been two instances of trouble during a flight due to turbulence. It’s not our favorite dish on the menu anyway, but when you hear these stories, you really start to become afraid of severe turbulence. I always especially watch the flight attendants: if they walk calmly down the aisle, my heart rate stays in check, but as soon as they buckle up, I feel fear. Deathly fear.

A few reassuring facts about turbulence
1.⁠ ⁠Your airplane won’t break due to turbulence
The airplane is designed to withstand two and a half times the highest level of turbulence. So don’t worry, like I do every time, that the wing will break off or something.
2.⁠ ⁠The airplane won’t crash due to turbulence
You should see turbulence as a speed bump, caused by upward or downward air currents, mountains, or thunderstorms. The pilot knows in advance that turbulence is coming and is trained to handle it.
3.⁠ ⁠The danger mainly exists because people don’t wear their seatbelts and because things fly around the cabin. So, and this is how you stay safe: buckle up as soon as the light comes on. Immediately. And address your fellow passenger if they don’t do it. Even better: just keep your seatbelt on for the entire flight.
