If 20 more were injured then the seatbelt sign probably wasn't on, which means they probably hit clear air turbulence in cruise. Usually the planes ahead will report anything like that so the ones behind it will know what's coming, but this must've been a big bit of windshear one out of nowhere.
Or it was on and some people didn't listen
As if people actually care about the seatbelt sign
"Hurr Durr if the plane crashes seatbelts aren't going to save you"
Either way, seatbelts should always be buckled while seated. The seatbelt sign turned off doesn't negate that.
Is that like black ice for planes?
Shit i guess it is
