Most Turbulent Flight You've Experienced?

Flight from Dallas to Amarillo this afternoon was like riding Thunder Mountain for an hour just after a thunderstorm. Girl next to me threw up a couple of times. Very quiet on the inside.
As bad as that seemed, I'm sure many have gone through much worse. What's the worst you've experienced?

American Airlines?
If so, I have flown that same flight and it was bumpy as hell for me on a day with great weather.

i'm a very frequent flier and have never experience bad turbulence…knock on wood.

Worst flight I have ever been on made my drink hit the bottom of the luggage rack after the plane suddenly lost altitude. We fell for only a second or two, but it happened a couple of times. The guy behind me had his peanuts land in my lap, along with the flight attendant

Yep. It's always a little bumpy, but this was intense today.

Bogota to Buenos Aires. Pretty sure the pilot fell asleep a couple of times. Seriously thought we were going to crash.

traveling from louisiana to Lake tahoe, the leg from Dalls to Reno was the worst I have ever been on...
it was just like a roller coaster the whole way...flight attendants were never allowed to unbuckle their seatbelts...people throwing up constantly...

Aside from the combat landing (25,000 to ground in <5 minutes) it was an old rickety C-130 and one soldier's harness broke and he flew out of his seat and hit the ceiling of hold and broke and army and torqued his neck. He was in the hospital for nearly 1.5 weeks in country.

Flying back from Vegas recently was pretty bad, although coming off a bender played a role. The rest of my row were girls coming from a bachelorette, and every single one of us had a bag handy in case we need to vomit. It was a sorry sight. I had to run to the bathroom to pull the trigger twice.
For some reason the stretch over north Texas is always pretty bumpy.

My flight back to Dallas just got cancelled for that damn weather.

Montego Bay to Charlotte. Dropped over Cuba and everyone went full panic mode for 10 min. Even the flight attendants looked scared to death. No warning was given, just dropped out of the sky until we finally got control. I pissed my pants a little.
Had a flight from Vegas to Phoenix once that was constant turbulence and I got sick from all the bumps. Walked off the plane and told the pilot he sucked at flying.

I flew through Texas as well today and had a very turbulent flight.
The captain said the air was just abnormally choppy.

Noticed that after landing. Be glad you didn't have to ride that one out.

Final approach to San Diego. Coming in over the mountains with a heat wave and a strong Santa Ana wind. Lunches were lost.

That sounds pretty horrific. The saving grace on my flight was that most people remained cool (albeit very quiet). When everyone starts freaking out, all bet's are off.

ATL-MOB defending through the storm, the turbulence began at around 20,000 up near BHM, in a 50-seater it was crazy, got thrown around like a kernel of popcorn.
Was pretty bad but I know folks could have been worse.
