Air turbulence created chaotic meatime mess on Singapore Airlines flight! Photos...

When turbulence strikes, it’s better when it happens before mealtime.

Instagram photos by a passenger on a recent Singapore Airlines flight SQ308 from Singapore to London show a chaotic mess after his flight hit a rough patch and lost altitude, sending meals flying. The passenger’s coffee, he said, ended up on the ceiling.

The passengers were warned to expect a bit of turbulence, Alan Cross told ABC News. It was announced the breakfast service would be temporarily suspended and the fasten seat belt sign came on.

About a minute later, the captain came on with a rather urgent-sounding order for all flight attendants to immediately take their seats, Cross said.

“I remember thinking that that his tone was a bit odd,” he said.

Cross described the turbulence that quickly followed as “like being in an elevator with a cut cable or free-falling from some amusement park ride.”

Everything that wasn’t tied down, including a few people, hit the ceiling, he said. More + photos...
