A PANIC-STRICKEN air stewardess sparked terror on her turbulence-hit flight by screaming: "We're going to crash."

The hostess, named only as Wendy, stunned hundreds of passengers on the Gatwick-to-Las Vegas Virgin flight by repeating the outburst three times.

She cracked as the jet began shaking and sharply dived 8,000ft.

Passenger Claire Daley, 34, of Stone, Staffs, said: "Outside, we could see the wing was bent right up by the force.

"I looked to the stewardess for reassurance. But she let out a large scream and shouted three times, 'We're going to crash'.

"At that, all the other passengers screamed too."

People were thrown to the floor in the drama and meals were sent flying.

The Virgin flight VS43 - which had 451 passengers on board - hit unexpected turbulence as it flew over Greenland last Friday.

A Virgin spokesman today said the airline was waiting for the crew to return to the UK before starting an investigation.

He added: "The safety and security of passengers and crew is Virgin Atlantic's top priority. The flight deck will always keep passengers informed of expected flying conditions and where possible will try to avoid areas of expected turbulence.

"Incidents of unexpected turbulence are relatively rare, but as a precaution passengers are always advised to wear seatbelts at all times during the flight."

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Just think of their faces...

oh my goodness! that is hilarious! seriously, did she preface the flight with
"and in case of an emergency, i will be in the rear of the plane screaming in a fetal ball. thank you and enjoy your complimentary peanuts!"...

See.....yet another reason I won't fly........

Lol, would have been funnier if it was the pilot though.

Someone should have slapped her and said 'snap out of it!' . . .

Did I mention I prefer to drive places?

"This is your captain speaking, the local time is 4:15 and we are at 30,000 feet. We will shortly experience some slight turbulence followed by a lot of falling. Thankyou."

I remember a landing at Heathrow, in a 747 that I was glad I had a clean set of undies. As we came in, a stewardess sat in a jumpseat that faced me. There was a nasty Tstorm going on and just before we contacted the ground, the jet started swaying, is it called pitching, wings going up on on side etc, and yawing, a sort of swiveling motion. When we did land, the plane skidded back and forth, a lot. I credit the pilot with saving our collective butts.
The stewardess never said a word, but she turned whiter than I have ever seen a living person do. That was the moment when I thought, Hmmm, this BAD thing!

lol
I wonder if she still has a job to go back to

I was flying from Florida to Texas at around nine in the evening when, about an hour into the flight, the plane (a little 50 person jet) suddenly went into a sharp descent, and I mean a good 30 degrees downward. We all looked around at each other in alarm and looked over to the stewardess. She was securing everything in the kitchen, and most prominently, was wearing her portable oxygen mask already. It turned out to be nothing more than a faulty pressure gauge, but still, I was feeling pretty nervous.

Another reason to consume alcohol while flying.

last time I flew, the attendant said her usual "welcome to flight so and so, going to so-and so".. well, that was not where I was going! lol, I panicked, stood up, she said it again! I'm about freaking out and at that moment the pilot comes on correcting her.......
dang I lost about 10 pounds right there.
lol

I saw this on the news i guess she really flipped...one word amtrak i hate planes

The chances of dying in flight are 5,704 to 1. The chances of dying in a car are 228 to one. Yes, I feel lucky when I successfully drive to work everyday lol.

very much so

Maybe the flight attendant had a few too many...

i don't care much to fly commercial , it seems like some kind of third world buss trip to me. last time i was on amtrak it derailed . no trains for me--LOL

flying in the t-storms? geez watch out for the hail stones !

even in the 35b i'll divert--lol

lmao! The first time my father ever flew in a plane, he looked out the window and there was another aircraft just off the runway, and it was on fire Turns out they were doing a training excercise, about what to do if an airplane crashes

Oh my god! I can't stop giggling. Those poor passengers must have got the fright of their lives! LOL!

I can't stop laughing at this! Hilarious!!
