Turbulence on a night flight from Orlando to London. There was a horrible moment where the plane dipped, we all felt a brief drop then the power of the plane getting back to speed. Heard a lot of gasping and a couple of screams. Lasted about 0.75 seconds but it was a very THIS IS THE END moment
What’s the worst *short-lived* scare you’ve ever had? Where you were genuinely freaking out but then it was all ok within minutes?
I had a literal moth get trapped inside my ear for about 40 seconds. I was screaming. Then it was out.
