Heavy Turbulence | Jetblue 375 Philadelphia - Ft. Lauderdale | A320 

When the Captain speaks during tubulence in a manner that is so calm , as though he's just sipping his hot coffee is SUCH a reassuring thing ! A good Captain !

This is why every passenger should congratulate these pilots every time when deplaning, for their skill and ability in taking them safely to their destinations. These guys are the real superstars, and deserve to be highly paid, more so than someone who hits homeruns, throws a little white ball, makes a touchdown or score points throwing a ball through a hoop. But that's America for you.

I love how the pilots are casually updating passengers while people area getting tossed around. Just shows the confidence and training they have. Hearing pilots make updates like that during turbulence always calms my nerves.

I take my hat off and salute all pilots and flight attendants for dealing with flights like this. I be scared to death

Dont care if anyone agrees. One of. The most difficult and hardest. Of. All. Occupations. Is. Being. Airline captain truly. Great skill. To. Fly these massive machines in all kinds of weather. Conditions and unforseen scenarios and yet land these planes safely. True. Great skill

I find having a window seat strangely helps when there’s turbulence. You can look out to see that the plane isn’t shaking as much as it feels. You can also usually see what’s causing it. (Clouds, etc.)

I love the smell of walking in a plane from the terminal

I LOVE turbulence!!! It's like an expensive roller coaster ride! Btw, kid needs a vodka bottle..

Nothing but admiration for the pilots. And those soothing words are a must for us all in a scary situation.

Nice Video, It very good that the pilot kept you informed and the turbulence and it always puts me at ease when they do that and are so calm

Afraid of heights but love flying and have to have the window seat. Love looking out many times have bumped my head on the window haha thanks for sharing this video. Safe travels to everyone.

Wow, that was scary!!! Nice video!! I watched it completely

takes me right back to Brisbane--Singapore, 8 hours and seat belt sign on all the way ...good old days 0_o

Can we appreciate for a moment that the poster of this video is still replying to comments four years later?

always feels great getting on the ground after a ride like that!

That's the feeling I live for when flying, an 'E-TICKET' RIDE! A good indicator of REALLY BAD TURBULENCE is the facial expressions of the flight attendants. If anyone knows HOW BAD IT REALLY IS, IT WILL BE THE FLIGHT CREW! ✈️

That looks like an absolute NIGHTMARE. Talk about terrifying...

Wow that did get a little bumpy and you managed to keep filming. Good video and thanks.

I think I’ve sat in this seat on this plane at one time! I recognize the window scratches! Lol. True story!

Nice video! I've experienced longer than this on a 777. However, strong turbulence on such a small aircraft must be more scary, I think. Look at the wing, it's shaking like it'd break at any time. Liked and subbed

If you have seen some Boeing and Airbus wing failure testing, you would actually find it to be quite reassuring. The amount that a wing will flex before failure, is eye opening!!! Like 12 to 15 feet of upward AND downward bending. We virtually never see that on commercial flights, very reassuring. Not to make light of the fact that a lot of people DO NOT like turbulence, its how it is, I guess. If turbulence was ' water off a ducks back ' to all of us, flying would be SUPER boring. A lot of airlines do ' fear of flying ' flights, and they go a long way to allaying some of our fears about flight. Great vid, thanks for posting it.

wow, great footage! turbulence was terrible, I would have jumped out of my skin. thank gawd the kid stopped talking, but another was coughing, sneezing, not good to fly w/upper respiratory issues. you survived.

My palms are sweating watching this.

Down south, in the summer months, next to the Gulf of Mexico, there are always bad storms because of the tremendous heat and humidity. They can form in minutes and go from a light wind and a little drizzle to 70 mph winds and torrential rains with hail storms. I was coming into Atlanta from Frankfurt Germany once on a Lufthansa DC-10 and there was a storm so bad they had to close the airport and we had to circle for about 45 minutes. Those were the longest 45 minutes of my life. We dropped once for what felt like 500 feet and then it felt like we hit something. I guess when the wings lost airflow we dropped and when they caught airflow again it produced the feeling that we had hit something. We were pitching nose up and nose down, going side to side, rolling left to right and right to left, the lights went out briefly but the lightning kept it lit inside as the lightning was continuous. The overhead compartments were opening and spilling onto people's heads. Hail started to hit the plane and it was deafening. We could hear the engines spooling up and down as the pilots adjusted for what they needed. Luggage in the lower compartment was bumping against the floor underneath our feet. I had to catch a little carry on bag I had in my lap as it flew over my head several times. People were screaming, praying, crying and some seemed to be in shock. I imagine some let out a little TT in their draws. I have never been so glad to get to the ground in my life. I hope i, nor anyone else, ever have to go through that again.

my worst nightmare....bad flight, noisy kids, and those same kids coughing their germs all over the place in what is essentially a small sealed metal tube.

Commenting 2/1/20 at 610am EST..I know exactly as to what you mean by the jolty-turbulences as described.....I had the very same turbulences when this Pan Am 707 jet I was in when I was still at age of six....hardly much older than the noisily yapping toddler heard in the cabin off and on, heeheee, way back on WEDs 1/29/64 when severe Tstorms that were unexpected..and we all inside the jetliner having flown into....thus being way down...in Montevideo Uruguay...en route to Buenos Aires and then to NYC's JFK airport the next day...Even though this was a good 56 years ago..I still remember this very vividly even to this very day....! BTW..nice shot of the takeoff from Philly...the gorgeous deep blue skies above the clouds..and the landing at Ft Lauderdale...and I see of the dark skies off to the EAST upon landing......as it did show that severe Tstorms having been present at the airport.......which did prompt the tornado-warnings.. Nice job here on the video description...and how I do wish many other descriptions are like yours here....

Finally, a video with turbulence.

I've flown many times but I'm still terrified. This made me feel sick. Won't stop me flying though

The hairs on the back of my neck stand up when aircraft take off. Love the roar of the engines.

Watch this one regularly,great vid,I fly often but not seen turbulence like this,gave it👍....Good stuff

I actually feel cheated after a flight that has no turbulence. It’s good fun and makes you feel alive!

I‘m glad that strong turbulences never happend when i was flying with my family 👍🏼🙈

Enjoyed the video. Thanks!

That's pretty bumpy ride. Thanks for sharing

Isnt it nice how you can leave the snow and in two hours be in sunshine and high temps.

That moment from 15:35 and on is very familiar to me. I flew from London to Newark once and it was like that for most of the 8 hour flight. The captain came on and said he'd tried to go both lower and higher but we just couldn't get out of the clouds, even at 31.000 feet. I was very tired after that flight. Good video (Y)

I've had two flights w/extreme turbulence, I wish I had passed out, I would have been better off.

Wow that’s scary hope u had a safe flight

Awesome weather shots moderate turbulence can be rough

Oh my gosh this reminds me of the terrifying turbulence that I encountered on a family trip to Honolulu, flying over Oregon and Washington was a nightmare, going to and coming from Honolulu omg I'll never forget it

Great Video! I hate turbulence it scares the heck out of me. 😮

Thank you for sharing! Merry Christmas to all!!

My palms started sweating like I was on this flight myself 🤣🤣

Yep. Flying just above the cv's with just enough high altitude convergence to give a few good jolts.

nice video. I fly alot across the atlantic and also experienced heavy turbulence on these flights, but the worst was a flight on Delta from Orlando to Cininnati. The ideot pilot flew directly into a severe storm as soon as we left cruising altitude. It was so bad that, even though we almost touched down, started through and deverted to Loisville. In all of my time flying, I thought we never make it out of there alive. Flying can be wonderful but sometimes very scary.

I'm freaking out, Stella, you're NOT helping - you need to drop the noise down a few decibels before I stow you in the overhead. Inside voice, girl, inside voice! :)

Sandpit to Smithers 1984 we hit bumps that occurred just after refreshments. I had Coffee all over me the side to side slams were intense. Went from bliss to terror in seconds, then smooooooth air again. Have not been on an airliner since. I love flying,, earned pilots license in 1987 have 594 hours in 150 and 172 but the big jets.... Never again.

Fabulous landing. Wow.

Flying in clouds equals turbulence....always been my experience. When cruising in those thin, high clouds, my experience has always been that the ride was more turbulent.

Great vídeo. Nice camera

Oh and you were in the back of the plane, too. Bless your heart.

Beautifully shot, I love flying!

I LOVE taking off they go SO FAST..

Normalmente el aeropuerto de Filadelfia en invierno es muy gélido, con nieve, tormentas y mucho frío. Lo pude comprobar a finales de enero de 2013. Inolvidable!!!

I’m a seasoned passenger and now fly private aircraft and I love flying the plane myself in turbulence. Glad the pilot came on to reassure passengers. I did a flight in a small turbo prop in to Chicago. Dropped so many times several feet the flight attendant said ohh shit with big eyes and a guy started crying. We didn’t know it was his first and last flight.

Great video, great pilot

Absoluttelly beautifull, very great video!😂

Great video thanks 👍👍

some good turbulence right there buddy! ;-)

I noticed that my wonderful JetBlue flights were consistently NOT so wonderful due to turbulence. It was strange. I flew many, many times before that and yet noticed that flights on B6 were bumpy. Living next to Boeing it was easy to find an answer when I finally mentioned it to engineers. The Boeing engineers praised the A320 as a quality, safe airplane to fly in, but they explained that Airbus builds "sturdy" planes with wings that don't move much during turbulence. This means that passengers inside tend to feel the turbulence more. Also, if you fly B6 you will notice that the heads of people rock back and forth during the entire flight. It is just an Airbus thing on the A320. Can't remember if it does that on the 19 or 21. I did NOT notice it when I flew from London to Boston on the A340 but did find my flight bumpier than when I took the 747 on the flight before it. I enjoy my B6 flights now that I tell myself that it just feels bumpier than it actually is. Boeing planes tend to have wings that flex more, especially the new 787. Airbus builds strong planes that flex less. Both are safe.

,,, Actually a nice ride for what it was ,,, Not bad at all ,,, Great Job Pilots :)

Stella needs to go in the cargo hold.

Takeoffs and landing in Miami area during thunder storm season (July-Sept) can be awfully bumpy.

I would need lots of vodka for that ride. That would've freaked me out!

Scared of turbulence but its funny to seat here and watch it, like i never gonna fly again,

as a student pilot you realize that wing well below you on a tighter turn is in fact - your own !

I love turbulence! Only because I know that the pilots are well trained and safety is priority #1. Turbulence is a natural air disturbance and the plane is not falling from the sky. Also, love to watch people freak out when it gets bumpy, that makes the flight so much better for me!

So we as pilots have a saying about turbulence “it’s like hitting a huge pothole in a brand new car”. Scary at first but in the end all pilots have been VERY well trained to handle these situations. These pilots also have lots of people looking out for them. Pretty sure that PIREP looks awesome 😂.

Everything changes as soon as the Captain speaks during turbulence. I travel frequently from USA to Europe and only few airlines like British and United would talk to us. Iberia and Lufthansa are normally very silent.

I was a road warrior for 2 years and I thought I was a "G". On a flight from Ontario, we hit turbulence similar to this and dealt with a crosswind on take-off. I held hands with a stranger and we cried the whole time. I stopped traveling two weeks later 😅

I would be freaking out I don’t do good with turbulence it scares the crap out of me

Calm repots all the while keeping a tight white knuckled hold on the yolks 😳

Ah, at 24:27 is the highway I was sort of looking for. I knew I drove past the airport on my way back to Miami but didn’t see until until there. There wasn’t much traffic on the tarmac.

That pilot should be recognized because he wouldve calmed my nerves bout the turbulence waves

Nice Video my friend!✈️

I was on a united flight from chicago back to portland for a school trip, that was similar to this, nonstop turbulence for about 40 percent of the flight, and over 100 percent of Wyoming lol

Nice video man!!

this is why I no longer travel in the winter season from JFK to FLL, the warm weather from Florida and the cold front that mixes with northern cold air with warm creating turbulences, summer is better.

I was on a turbulent flight last August (AA481, I have video of takeoff/landing). Thing was dropping like a coaster and people screaming mid-flight, but perhaps enjoyable for people who love thrill rides in broad daylight.

This didn't look turbulent until descent into FLL. The shaking of the camera made it look more turbulent. When I film in flight ( which I do to keep occupied and less fearful) I jam the camera ( my cell phone) right up against the window to keep it steady. The viewer can still note the severity of the turbulence by wing movement. Going through clouds like that is always a bumpy ride. Good video despite the shakiness of the camera ☆

Nice moon shot

Thank you.

People should've clapped not an easy flight for those pilots. Turbulence from mid flight to landing, this is why I don't travel by air in winter time the warm air from the south mixing with very cold air. The summer is best, the fall season too and late spring are good.

Now that’s what I would call a bumpy, moderate to severe turbulence

That could probably be classified as mild to moderate chop. Heavy or severe turbulence is scary to say the least, and can cause injury, even if you're seat belt is fastened.

This. Is why u should say thanks to Allah for his blessings ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

When it comes to turbulence the only thing you have to fear is fear itself

Well that was exciting.

This is definitely strong turblance. let hate turblance

I Was on a Qantas A380 about an hour out of Singapore from London a few years ago . The Captain came on the PA said “ Captain here” & sat the crew down immediately. Said it was going to be rough. It was . Obviously stuff that didn’t show up on his weather radar. I suspect he was alerted by a plane in front of us. It was the roughest I had experienced for some time.

Crab landing in crosswinds is scary. Plane comes down sideways a bit and straighten out just before he puts the nose down.

Try flying in a continental Express plane from Nebraska to Newark over the great lakes in a severe thunderstorm...my friend had the rosary out and praying..

Flying to Aruba we hit bad turbulence & was sitting at the very last seat so that didn’t help at all as well

The kids are great! They sound so excited and fascinated lol

Nice Video!

Flying itself scares me...how much more turbulence...ohhh...I'm dead....

I'm not a pilot, but it appears the rear wing flaps were not extended for extra lift. Any plane I've flown on they were extended always on take off to the max. @ 7:57 what little extension they had, were then retracted.

oh geez whatever they are feeding the kid they DEFINITELY can cut back on! That's a helluvalot of energy 😫 That turbulance is insane, I experienced similar on my last trip and a lot of luggages were damaged good.

Those few simple words from the captain make all the difference to us white knucklers out there. Totally irrational fear, but I got it sadly

That looks pretty damn heavy.
