[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not turbulence per se, but many years ago I was flying from JFK to Rome and I had a window seat and soon after take-off I saw flames come out of an engine and the plane shuddered. A few minutes later the pilot announced that we needed to return to JFK but we needed to dump fuel over the Atlantic because we would land too heavy. The entire runway was lined with fire trucks on our touchdown and a bunch of tires blew out. It turned out that we had hit birds. [/quote]

We had the same thing happen LAX to Sydney.  Ended up being a 9 hour flight to nowhere.  And the guy in front of me was having seizures and had checked his medication through.  I had taken a bunch of valium to ensure that I would sleep during the flight and it was a surreal experience to say the least.

The worst turbulence I was ever in was in a small plane flying from a tiny island back to the main airport in Fiji.  There were about 8 nuns on the plane, all praying the entire time.  I'm not religious at all, but in that moment, I was definitely thinking to myself, this plane can't crash with all these nuns on it... [/quote]
