A Boeing 777 plane suddenly got into the zone of strong turbulence before starting to descend

So why didn't the pilot tell the passengers to sit down and put seat belts on?

Planes should have seatbelts installed to stop this from happening...hang on.....

passengers not wearing their seat belts while they are seated.

Even when the Fasten Seat Belt sign is off, it is still advisable to keep the belt loosely fastened. Pilots are not psychic and clear air turbulence isn't visible on weather radar.

This is why I never undo my seatbelt while seated......

Clunk click every trip! No different than riding in a car.

Pilot / co pilot didn't have a problem........oh yea they kept his seat belts on like you are supposed to ......so now you know the possible consequences, if you don't..........

Every ones worst nightmare.

Gosh all those wise comments about seat belts. Difficult to.keep your belt on when queuing for the toilet or walking to the toilet. A seatbelt only prevents u being protected upwards not forwards. It will not stop you breaking your nose on the seat in front or your knees if you are tall

Had I been on the fight I would feel bad for laughing at everyone flying about the cabin... I always keep my seat belt fastened even while driving my automobile at 22 feet above sea level......

Shows the full power of nature in force.

I have been through really serious turbulence but I remember the crew ordering everybody to go back to their seat and fasten their belt BEFORE mayhem started. The ladies were quickly to check if everybody was safe before seating as well. It was horrendous, some top baggage doors opened and stuff jump out. Luckily nothing serious happened but I was with back pain for days after that...

A Tribute to the planes designers and engineers

I would have died of a heart attack before anything else !! I'm terrified of flying but there is no other way since I love traveling ..

Put your seat belts back on people duh

Belt up!

This is why I always keep my seatbelt on, never experienced anything like that but you never know Must of been horrific for those on board

Ye Gods, another damn fool journalist who doesn't know the meaning of carnage. Where on earth were they educated?

This is terrible. I hope everyone recovers but it's hard to see how. I tell you one thing for sure, next time that announcement to fasten seat belts is made, I sure won't be complaining.

I rarely read the Daily Mail articles but go straight to the comments as the reader's comments explain what really happened and filter out the written journalistic histrionics.
