"In 2021 , I was traveling back from Bengaluru to Kashmir and saw the worst turbulence. The aeroplane just made a jump and everyone got panicked after that the continuous vibrations made the plane dance in clouds and that rain . Now I fear traveling by air," one user wrote.

Saw the worst turbulence while travelling from Riyadh to Srinagar in July 2020. It was a sunny day and the plane suddenly started plummeting down with extreme vibrations. Been travelling long distances for more than 15 years, was never that scared," another user wrote.
