Flight attendant broke his arm by being slammed into the ceiling.
If anything for the average passenger, it's nice to know those things can survive turbulence that extreme.

I fly 2-3 segements a week.
The scariest flight I've been on was a redeye between SFO and JFK over the Sierra this time of year.

The National Weather Service had warned pilots of 'downright dangerous flying conditions with moderate to extreme turbulence'.
Route me the frick around "downright dangerous" flying conditions.

Regional Jet.

This is why I takes a nerve pill before I fly.

never seen that term used to describe turbulence, as in it's not an official description of turbulence in a met report

The flight aware path looks like they were attempting to get in front of a storm crossing the Sierras

Nosing diving 34,000 feet once pretty much puts a commercial flight into the ground.

Nosing diving
the "nose diving" was reported by passengers, they don't know shite about what the jet is doing, that is the most common description of a turbulence encounter that I hear people use though

I was gonna ask, that seems highly unlikely that actual nose dives happened.

I bet that was in a forecast discussion. This morning's out of Reno reads similarly.
quote:
A very strong subtropical jet will phase with the polar front jet over the Sierra and western Nevada Thursday. The coupling of these jets will likely produce 120-180 kt winds above FL280. Winds in western Nevada could cause considerable delays to air traffic and intervals of dangerous flying conditions. EXPECT STRONG TO EXTREME TURBULENCE OVER THE SIERRA, STRONG LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR, and erratic surface rotors. Several moderate to severe PIREPs were reported Wednesday afternoon over the Sierra, with even worse conditions expected Thursday. This is a particularly dangerous situation for aviation in the lee of the Sierra the next two days
That's not the sort of working forecast you pilots actually use, just noting how flying in the Lee side of the Sierras isn't going to be fun.

I’ve heard the wings can bend up to 70 degrees before they snap off
