Passengers on a Lufthansa flight from hell that dropped almost 4,000 feet in severe turbulence were asked to delete their photos and videos of the terrifying event, according to a report.
Before the March 1 flight made an emergency landing at Washington, DC’s Dulles Airport, a flight attendant twice made an announcement to get rid of any images, passenger Rolanda Schmidt told Insider.
“I think we were all just like, ‘What?!'” Schmidt said.
The second announcement implied that the request was to protect passenger privacy, she said.
Another passenger confirmed to Insider that they were asked to delete photos.
But plenty of images nevertheless made their way to social media and showed food, papers and debris littering the cabin floor.

I’d tell Lufthansa I’d sell them the photos.
LOL...you can be sure there were SCORES of stills and video on social media before the wheels touched down.
Nobody wants to delete their photos and end up with being the only one who doesn’t have any. Worse would be if only one other person was the only one with photos. It really is stupid to ask that and probably not legal in any country.
“protect passenger privacy”
Sounds like a Mr. Big CEO Mr. Smith was traveling with Secretary Miss Jones and Mr. Smith had told Mrs. Smith he was going to New York.
Interesting, Austin to Frankfurt and the trouble happened over Tennessee. When I took Lufthansa between DC and Frankfurt, the worse parts were almost always over Newfoundland or between there and Ireland. I’d rather it happen over land than over the middle of the North Atlantic any day.
Jawoll mien Furher, as you command!

Those little bitches Lufthansa
No more Lufthansa for me.
p.s. Happy to hear Khloe is safe & sound and at home
First thing I’d do then is make copies and distribute them somewhere to be saved for posterity.
This tells me they are somehow complicit in this event. If this were just uncontrolled nature, then there’d be no reason to hide what happened. Stuff happens and people understand that.
Nope, there is more going on than meets the eye.
For that to make sense they’d need to prohibit taking any in-flight pictures.
I'd love it if cell phones cameras and social media never existed.
I believe that photography onboard is prohibited in LH’s terms of carriage.
PASSENGER PRIVACY!!!??
what a joke.
They can pound it. You can film in a plane. Public transport, no expectation of privacy.
Trying to keep them out of the lawsuits, that’s my assumption.
My response, we’re I there,
“Make me”
Ok but my photos automatically are uploaded to the cloud. Oooops my bad.
