We were on a flight to Mexico that was circling because the Cancun airport was closed due to thunderstorms. The captain came on the mic and said in the most stern captain voice I’ve ever heard, flight attendant sit down NOW. I saw two flight attendant slide into empty seats, but the one directly in front of me looked left then right I had nowhere to sit. She dropped to the ground held onto the bars below the seats, (is that what they’re there for?), and told the passengers in those seats to push down hard on her shoulders. Not two seconds after those words came out of her mouth we hit turbulence and must’ve dropped 100 feet in a second. My butt was completely off the seat, but my seatbelt did its job and bit hard into my hips. It was absolutely terrifying. Thankfully, the captain had the fast seatbelt sign on for the entire time we were circling, and everyone on the plane was smart enough to listen. No one was hurt. When we finally landed, the entire plane erupted and clapping and cheering. As we were exiting, the flight attendant were thinking us by the front door and you could see the one flight attendant had tear stained cheeks.

For this woman to say that she had her seatbelt on and hit her head on the ceiling yeah I don’t buy it.
