An Australian passenger, Nicholas Stevenson, described a terrifying experience aboard Cathay Pacific flight CX156 from Brisbane to Hong Kong, which encountered severe turbulence approximately two hours before landing. The Airbus A350-900 suddenly dropped mid-air, injuring 10 individuals, including six cabin crew and four passengers. Stevenson recounted how the turbulence struck without warning as breakfast service commenced, causing unsecured items and passengers to be thrown around the cabin. He noted that many were screaming in panic, and the cabin crew suffered the worst injuries due to being in the aisles with heavy food carts. Medical personnel were ready upon landing at 6:45 AM local time, with eight injured individuals transported to nearby hospitals. The pilot later explained that the aircraft had encountered a weather system that was not visible on radar until the last moment. Cathay Pacific is cooperating with authorities in the investigation and providing support to those affected.
