Passengers on an Air New Zealand flight from Tokyo to Auckland have described the panic and chaos that erupted after the plane encountered horrific turbulence during dinner service.
Passengers screamed as the plane dropped sharply twice without warning and started shaking violently sending wine arcing into the overhead luggage compartments and fully laden food trays littering aisles.
The flight was an hour out of Tokyo when it dropped and started shaking, sending everything up in the air and spraying wine on to the cabin roof.
One passenger, posting on Reddit with username Ollieislame, said the plane was filled with screams.
"It was terrifying actually. I thought that might be the end of me. It was a red-eye flight so we got breakfast at the end of the flight in the morning.
"We were only an hour into the flight. We had a little bump-de-bump at first and then all of a sudden the plane just dropped and started shaking like crazy.
