On these flights I'd 100% expect turbulence, and the only reason I'd start to panic is cause of all the people randomly screaming...

Fair play to the cameraman. Great footage

Legend has it that during this turbulence the pilots were calm and drinking coffee not worried

My dad was a Boeing engineer. He used to tell me that these airplanes were built for severe turbulence, even worse, but that little is comfort to the passengers that are scared out of their heads.

Don't Worry You Are The Cameraman... You always survivie

You almost never see that kind of visual turbulence from the window. I don’t think they were exaggerating.

I have once experienced nearly one hour turbulence during a light storm on an ATR-72 plane flight from Hanoi to Danang 20 years ago. When we have landed safely almost every passenger was swearing that he/she would never fly again. Very memorable flight.

Just focus on that insane view! And trust your pilot 🙏

Wow that might be the most extreme turbulance i have seen on video. Good capture. The sudden drops would be scary AF

I've flown over 50 times and I'm still just as scared getting on a flight now. Yet somehow I find their screams funny!

This looks like mountain wave turbulence, which is caused by high winds blowing over mountain ranges like here. It causes winds to move like waves and when different patches of air collide, it creates unstable up and down motion. It basically straight up is like going through a choppy ocean with rough waves (except it’s in the form of air). Mountain wave turbulence is pretty legit and kinda scary, and can cause swaying/rocking on top of dips, although I’ve never seen or experienced any this bad.

I have been a passenger in a 50 seater Fokker turboprop many times during winter in Iceland. Let me tell you, the landings in those birds are a spectacle :D It´s like the pilots are on a snowboard doing jumps and skids down to the tarmac hah.

Must be even more scary if it was at night!

I've been the worse turbulence and while I keep my screaming to myself its under, I'm terrified of turbulence no matter how much I know its mostly harmless. But anyone crossing the Andes should be explained beforehand to expect sever turbulence.

It’s caused by the mountain waves while flying over the mountains. Can send air currents from the mountains to the plane to cause it bounce and sway.

Never has a plane crashed through turbulence, no matter how gnarly it gets. Never. Not even once. Just in case you're shitting your pants next time you're on the plane, remember that 😁

It wasn’t the Turbulence causing the screams, it was the airplane food being served.

The tilting sideways is pretty intense. Maybe there was not a real level of danger, but the scared reactions of passengers are normal.

"This is your captain speaking. Please do not start screaming until the 'PANIC' sign is lit. Thank you."

Such turbulence over mountainous area is really scary

This one is quite scary. You can see the plane is swinging. Easy to comment when sitting comfortably and typing but it’s very scary when facing that situation. I have been to many flights where I faced heavy turbulence it makes me sick… It’s like your stomach is dropping and it resembles scary roller coaster ride experience only when the outcome is not controlled. I know aircraft is fully equipped to handle such situations but still there is always new situations coming up. PS: I have watched so many episodes of air crash investigation 🙈

Whole plane was flying sideways and everyone here acting like they wouldn’t care if they were in the plane. If it looks intense over video, it’s 10x worse in person 😂

Those passengers are like kids

Flying over the Bering sea along the Aleutian trench is a nice ride at 38,000 feet. Highly recommended!

I have been to same turbulence like this where plane suddenly drops, its kinda scary but people's screaming made me laugh

It’s just like a rollercoaster. You’re strapped in and you’re more than likely not gonna die. I wish more people knew that turbulence isn’t something to be afraid of in a big jet like that

and once the plane lands, the captain says I hope you enjoyed your flight

I can’t help but laugh at when everyone gets all quiet 😂😂 everyone has to pretend as if they weren’t just screaming their heads off.

Turbulence is the same thing as a car going over potholes on a highway, the car wobbles and continues to roll smoothly.

I was in a flight from Wichita to Houston around Christmas of 95. I’d had a rough couple of days before so I fell asleep right after wheelsuo in Wichita, I didn’t wake up til Houston. The guy sitting next to me said once I woke up, my god how did you sleep through that? I was like sleep through what? Apparently we flew through a real nasty line of storms in Houston, said people were flipping out because it got rough😂

Cameraman never dies, cameraman never gets panic. It’s not that easy to be a cameraman.

The legacy of Uruguayan flight 571 in South America would make anybody tremble especially the Andes and if ur aware of the story of that aerial disaster

This is soooo funny. 😂😂😂 Turbulence is completely normal. Especially when flying over the Andes.

Air flowing over mountains are generally turbulent. Air is a fluid like water. Just imagine water flowing over rocks. This turbulence is nothing compared to what planes are built for. If you see what these planes go through during testing, you’d be shocked. Manufacturers and Regulators ain’t playing around.

The pilot probably rocking back and forth hahaha

Thank God for the screams. It really helped the pilots to do a better job.

Reminds me of Genova- Munich flight on November with ATR. Pure roller-coaster ride

It's never any fun to experience turbulence like this especially when you're flying over mountain ranges. This appears to be a Aerolineas Argentinas Boeing 737-800. The airplane is reacting to some rough air pockets as it flies through the air route. Most of the time, people would just not rather look outside, and put their window shades down until it all passes. But it's just hard for them to overcome their fears. The mountains of the Andes are large like the Alaskan mountain ranges in Alaska. The integrity of the airplane would make it withstand heavy turbulence like you see here. So pilots have to maintain a safe altitude even when turbulence is presumably present.

In turbulence I just imagine the military guys that fly into the eye of a hurricane to gather weather data

This is so normal for flights to and from Bangalore. Always clouds are there and there is heavy turbulence most of the times. So Bangalore people are so used to it.

Taking off or landing through that terrain was always going to be a bit wobbly. But it did look very scary. Glad you’re all ok 😊

I'm the annoying guy laughing in the plane when people freak out lol

The turbulence is of little importance. Pay attention to the diminishing ice. It used to be completely covered in ice and now only a small fraction remains. Quite saddening, really.

Everybody here has been "in worse turbulence than that". Wow, great life !

For pilots its very hard to work when everybody is screaming,so keep calm and enjoy your flight❤

Just after 0:48, you can see a hard rudder input to the right. That was pretty scary. Rudder inputs can't usually be noticed from the cabin.

It's Ushuaia. Andes runs west to east in here. Runway is paralel to mountains, over Beagle channel, and when the wind comes from north is a fun ride

this is why I hate flying over mountain ranges 😭

“ i want to get off”. meanwhile thousands of feet in the air. what you gonna do jump out? i swear people are so stupid

Flying close to that mountain range in the Andes you got overcast clouds through and above you I would have been nervous too to be honest with you

During turby I pretend I'm a fighter jet pilot, call myself a wuss and imagine this is nothing compared to what they go through and it actually helps calm me.

Remember IT IS HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY UNLIKELY FOR A CRASH TO HAPPEN DUE TO Turbulence

Pilot should definitely have given them a heads up. Would have saved a lot of money on new underpants.

What an amazing view!

In video this turbulence looks very normal but i faced them in real life and i can feel it from the video All you csn do at that time is trust the engineering behind aircraft and trust your pilot

Knowledge is key for this situation. Not calling anyone dumb or anything like that. But if they only knew anything about turbulence and flying low over mountains, they would have 100% expected it to be every bit as bad as that was, perhaps not be as panicked. I get it. Crazy sensations of falling not to mention the unexpected steep banks. But just a little bit of knowledge of weather, terrain, and how it affects flight can go a long way. At the end of the day, it may still make their heart race. But like i said. Knowledge and expectations is key.

For me as pilot is this best video on youtube. Even my wife is not like this after 5 days of duty.

I’ll never understand people getting nervous and screaming like this on an airplane. The second that plane takes off. Everything is out of your hands. If it crashes, oh well. You can’t stop it.

Pilots are in the cockpit just drinking coffee and laughing at the panic.

that scream was unnecessary looked like normal maneuver

Everybody has so much to say here in the comments about the passengers reaction but if you were on that plane with them I’m pretty sure you’d be screaming too 🤦‍♂️

Only reason to panic is if the engines burst into flames or hole puncture otherwise carry on as normal

Ladies and gentlemen, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Normal flight... But the view is awesome !

As a Pilot, this is just a normal day of our work. the thing that would stress me out is how i would keep my passengers comfortable and calm. no sarcasm intended

Turbulences make a boring flight funny. I love them

The best way to imagine turbulence is just bumps in the road (for the most part lol)

La señora gritando: “me quiero bajar, me quiero bajar” 😂😂😂😂

Why all the screaming? It’s not like anyone on the ground will hear them, it just stresses everyone else out.

Half the passengers will never fly again. The other half lament that they'll probably never experience the same thrill again.

Cameraman is quiet. He Khow,the cameraman never die 😂😂

Hilarious!! I love it when Latin people freak out. They are always so extra.

Would have been worse if John Lithgow was on the wing of the plane lol

Pilots laughing and speaking about what they gonna eat for dinner

Genius airline business idea. Make it compulsory for the pilots to ensure the passengers how normal it is for turbulence to occur when it does and make them feel calm. Passengers would love this

I read up on planes over the mountains, and it says that being that low over mountains could produce some of the most severe turbulence. I'm not why these pilots were this low over the andes mountains. If I ever find myself on this same flight one day, I'm going to yell out to everyone to be ready for some insane turbulence.

Good thing everyone screamed, that's what helps airplanes stay in the air.

I wish I was on this flight. I'd be laughing my ass off!

Honesly it’s looks like you are into a roller coaster and I love it personally people shouldn’t be afraid about turbulence because you can’t crash due to a turbulence NEVER I think this video help a lot to understand what’s really happened and as a person who made one roller coster once and took the plane many times and it’s making clear it’s pretty the same The sensation around à roaller coster personally i love it and in this situation it’s pretty clear that it’s the same

I’d be pissing myself laughing. I always laugh when I’m on a roller coaster and people around me scream. I’d be no different on this plane 😂

Whoa bumpy flight but would still be cool to experience!

Bro choose to be cameraman, as Cameraman Never Dies💀..

the worst turbulence i’ve ever encountered was back in 2005…Stockholm to New York via Malaysia Airline… somewhere over the Atlantic, the turbulence lasted for almost an hour…..ALMOST AN HOUR!!!…😣😨😰 everyone had to buckled up, including the crews….n it was a night flight aswell…scariest ever!!

It gets really scary..I have been through this kind of thing after that I got acrophobia which I think is never ending.

Bro that’s literally the same shit when a plane turns

That's not the Andes, it's an approach to runway 25 in Ushuaia, in the far south of Argentina.

I wish there were a couple of dummies like me, who would have burst-out laughing hysterically at all the screams. I always chuckle at heavy turbulence, it's like a free ride at 7 flags. I'm not the least bit concerned, ever. It's not a state secret that airframes are built for this. As long as I don't catch a drink-cart in the back of the head lol.

The woman looking out the window: I better watch a movie... The movie: "Alive"

It never fails when ever you fly over huge mountains like this there's always gonna be turbulence due to the winds bouncing off every peak.

Estive nessa situação aí nesse mesmo lugar, foi tenso ....demais

The men on the plane were like can we please stop screaming! Iv been on worst turbulence on my Bicycle

They made it way worse for the pilot prob than the weather

happy to see this boeing is built to last

KZfaq, thank you for recommending this video while I am already going to board the plane lmao

Beautiful views out of the window!! I'd have taken some cool shots of the view on the way down!!🎬👍🏻✈️👍🏻☁️☁️☁️ This is where pilots earn their bread!!👍🏻💚👍🏻 \X/ish 🌍

You know what’s funny the planes not moving that much 😅

I was on a flight November 2018 from Santiago to Mendoza and we thought the plane was falling out of the sky , memories 😊

That was some good turbulence. Lol

You can see the wind coming off of those peaks. Almost always turbulence over the Andes. Good times!

Oh my god! Turbulence ok, but that roll to the right side!? I would be screaming in tears!!
