I was on a Northwest Airlink regional flight back a buncha years ago... on some little dinky 11 seater Embraer Turboprop I think. We hit some wind shear somewhere over Missouri (connecting through Springfield) and dropped a couple hundred feet at once... seatbelts were off and I hit my head on the ceiling of the plane. There were four or five passengers and almost everybody had jammed necks. Crap was flying around everywhere.

Worst flight I ever had. Connected from Muscle Shoals-to-Tupelo-to-JacksonTN-to-Memphis-to Springfield-to-Joplin.

I was on a southwest flight from Orlando to Atlanta that had a major engine failure. The flight was perfectly normal and suddenly just dropped into a steep dive. The majority of people were wearing seat belts due to started our descent but several hit the luggage racks. One of the stewardesses was thrown down on the floor and spent what seemed like an eternity trying to help an older lady buckle herself in. I'm not exactly sure what happened but it felt like the pilot hit full throttle as he turned the plane over and somehow had to make an emergency landing in a field. We lost a few passengers and I'm pretty sure the pilot was drunk but I was lucky enough to to survive
