Combine meal service on a plane with extreme turbulence, and you get the kind of scene from a frightening flight that had trays flying, wine spilling, and passengers screaming.



An Air New Zealand plane carrying 294 passengers was about an hour into a flight from Tokyo to Auckland and the crew was serving meals when, as Reddit user ollieislame wrote, the plane dropped and began “shaking like crazy.”



“Everything up in the air, wine on the roof. Quite a few screams and general terror,” the Reddit user wrote.

There were two photos of the damage from the turbulence, including wine stains on the ceiling and food trays littering the floor. The Reddit user says a flight attendant explained what was happening, finishing with a lighthearted, “There is nothing wrong with the plane, yet.” He said that drew some giggles and helped relieve the tension.

An Air New Zealand spokesman confirmed there was “unexpected strong turbulence during the inflight meal service,” and that “this caused some catering items to fall from service carts.”
