Norris, a passenger, said that before the plane encountered turbulence, the captain had made an in-flight broadcast to inform the plane that there was an airflow ahead and asked passengers and crew to fasten their seatbelts.
"After a while, we seemed to encounter a slight turbulence that we could barely feel it, but in the next second, the whole plane suddenly fell down and we all stood up."
Before he could fasten his seat belt, he was thrown to the ceiling on the spot, stuck on it, and lasted for about 3.5 seconds, and then fell down hard, was injured, couldn't stand up, and lay on the ground like this for 3 hours before the plane landed and was carried away!
