"I've been in a force 11, I'd take turbulence on a plane over on the seas. That experience has made me never set foot on a ship again, truly terrifying"

"Turbulence use to scare the shit out of me, and still does a bit, but read one time that it's the equivalent of a ship rocking in choppy waters, which made me feel a bit better about it."

"Phall Throw 2:50 Tue May 21 Could be the unfortunate person hadn't done up their seat belt? Or the aircraft was hit by unexpected clear air turbulence or whatever, causing sudden vertical adjustment of their person and consequent hitting of head against ceiling. Either way, sounds awful."

"I'm a natural cynic, I'm not sure how turbulence however bad it is kills someone as by the time turbulence starts the seatbelt signs are usually activated. Maybe he/she was having a shit and banged their head on the bog wall"
