Flight 197, heading from South Korea to Mongolia, had 281 passengers onboard. According to the 'New York Post,' one passenger recalled "The turbulence started around the time people were finished eating. The airplane sharply plunged so people were screaming and the means were all knocked over, it was chaotic."
Not only was food flung over the cabin, passengers were also launched from their seats into the air, hitting their heads on the overhead bins.
The story was confirmed by travel blogger and passenger Kim Hae-in. "People who weren't wearing seat belts shot up into the air. One passenger bounced really high, hit their head on the ceiling and dropped into the aisle," she wrote on her blog, per 'Korea JoongAng Daily.'
Flight staff provided painkillers to injured passengers, and those who had been hurt were immediately helped by a Mongolian medical team upon landing.
