At least 36 people have been injured - with some knocked unconscious - in a 'mass emergency' onboard a Hawaiian Airlines flight from Arizona after it encountered severe turbulence.

Passengers were nearing the end of their seven hour flight from Phoenix to Honolulu on Sunday morning when anyone who wasn't wearing their seatbelt was thrown out of their seats.

It's believed 11 people were seriously hurt, including several children and a 14-month-old baby.

Those hurt onboard include both passengers and flight attendants working on Flight 35. They sustained a variety of injuries, including serious head injuries, cuts and bruises when they crashed into the plane's ceiling panels and overhead bins.

It has also been reported that some passengers were knocked unconscious during the ordeal - and one person suffered a broken neck due to the severity of the turbulence.

Always keep your belt on, unless you’re walking to the bathroom.

It’s rare but it happens, thus the seat belts.

Landing in Denver in the afternoons can get scary bumpy.

My doctor has advised me to spend as little time as possible in my seat while flying. Just last summer we flew from JFK to Seoul and back...15 hours each way. I spent at least 10 hours on my feet in both directions.

Then you’ll be bouncing off the overhead. Take an aspirin and try tall compression socks too. That can help.

A flying Roomba?

How delightful!

Certainly will make cleaning the ceiling fans easier.

Flying across a mountain ridge in my plane one night and I hit an updraft I trimmed the plane for. Eventually I ran out of trim and reduced power settings to hold my assigned attitude. I wasn't thinking. I crossed the ridge (updraft side) to the other side and had my head smashed into the cockpit ductwork. My wife and kids were glued to the ceiling in the back. We dropped 3000' in about fifteen seconds.

After that I always wear my lap belt.

I experienced that type of turbulence in the fifties over the Gulf when Hurricane Audrey was approching. A stewardess was buckled in crying. A military pilot was throwing up. I was pregnant trying to miscarry, holding a 2 year old and in pure paralyzed shock. Reading that article, I was lucky to have held on to my 2 year old.

Not only have I been advised to do so...I want to.I have two metal hips and sitting for long periods in an Economy seat is murder for me. When I win the lottery and can afford Business Class I might change my tune.

Also,I love talking to the stews in the rear galley. "Hey,sweetie...have you ever gotten frisky with an old guy?"

Only kidding!

“anyone who wasn’t wearing their seatbelt”

A lapbelt is way better than nuffin in vehicles in motion.

Virtual trips are 90% of the visual stimulation.

Unless there are peeps to see or unique activities to engage in, the trip is questionable.

I agree. I generally hold it until I land unless it is an international flight. Then I only use the rest room in calm air.

Always keep your belt on,

I spend a lot of time on light (<12,500lb) airplanes.

You didn't say it loud enough.

Always keep your belt on.
