... like, 10 ft waves and everything! And it made me think about how unpredictable nature can be, you know? One minute it's all calm and peaceful, and the next thing you know, the whole thing just goes haywire. It's like when my old laptop started smoking up last week – I was like "okay, what's going on here?" 
It's just not exactly the most comforting thing when you're already feeling anxious about taking off. 
and from what i gathered it's super unclear what happened, but apparently the plane just dropped altitude like wth 
and some passengers got hurt 
like we should all be grateful the pilots were able to land safely and all that, but still... safety first, right? 
My mind is racing trying to think of what could've caused it... was it a technical issue or something else entirely? 
It's not even safe to speculate right now, but safety experts are saying we should be vigilant? That makes sense, I guess... we need to get to the bottom of this! 
... how did they not see it coming? 
. I guess you could say my mind's still reeling from this crazy incident...
️. The fact that multiple passengers got hurt is just heartbreaking 
We need to stay vigilant and look out for each other (and ourselves) while traveling 
.
plus now they're saying the cause is still unknown which means we'll probably never know what really happened
