Delhi: SpiceJet flight SG-385 on the Delhi-Srinagar sector is extremely frightening, showing the cabin crew seated or fallen on the aircraft floor & passengers screaming.
Passenger Arjimund Hussain tweets below states, “The plane dropped several hundred meters in free fall over the Banihal Pass. It felt like the end for everyone. It was not normal turbulence; I have experienced all sorts of turbulence.”
All my life, I have travelled in all sorts of weathers, across the globe, in hundreds of flights, but have never experienced something like this .

The plane dropped several hundred meters in free fall over the Banihal Pass. It felt like the end of life for everyone. It was not a normal turbulence. I have experienced all sorts of those.
“I managed to capture only the final few moments of the mayhem, with a crew member having tossed in the cabin.” Hussain said.
He added “Worst part was all window shields were directed to be closed a few moments back, and no one had any clue what was happening.”
The passenger asked “Is it new a normal to fly right into storms or something has changed about climate? Why was seat belt warning made once the mayhem was over? Where are early weather warnings and evasive actions?
Who would answer?”
Mercifully, the plane landed safely, with, possibly, minor injuries to two cabin crew members, he apprised.
“I checked on them when we landed, and they said they were okay. But, overall, a traumatising experience.” he concluded.
