One passenger on the plane, Tiffany Reyes, told the Associated Press that she returned from the plane bathroom to sit in the seat and, after she was about to buckle up, she found herself on the floor of the plane.
She didn’t realize the horror of the shock, referring to passengers who told her they saw her fly towards the ceiling before she fell and hit the floor of the plane.
“This is the most terrifying experience I’ve had in my 40 years of life,” Reyes said.
