look, i work in the aerospace business, so i have to say a few things about turbulence.
turbulence at cruising altitude will not bring your plane down at all.
1.the wings are made to withstand stronger than hurricane strength winds, so there is no amount of wind in the world that will tear them off.
2. the jet engines are not affected by wind, so they will not cease to function
3. a new boeing jet engine can tear through a 20 foot thick block of ice and not miss a beat. so anything that is blown into the engines as a result of wind will not be a problem.
4. are you scared of speed bumps? cause thats what turbulence is.
5. the only time people die from turbulence is if they are not wearing their seatbelt and it tosses them down the aisle. so keep yours on at all times
6. jets dont fall out of the sky. crashes occur at take off and landing (decent). you are the safest at cruising altitude, whether you want to believe it or not.
7.pilots dont even turn off the autopilot when they hit turbulence. dont you think that if it was dangerous that they would take the reigns?
