I usually fly American, but have a Southwest flight to Orlando coming up because they're the only airline with a direct flight. I'm not feeling great about it.

I was on Southwest flight SWA 4273 to Orlando last week, when we hit severe turbulence which caused an emergency landing in Tampa. Two people were injured, a flight attendant and passenger. Flight Attendant broke her hip. The plane dropped +700 ft while traveling 566 mi/hr. The flight made national news. I was following on FlightAware at the time, crazy shite to say the least.
