Singapore Airlines passenger dead after Boeing jet hits 'severe
turbulence'
The incident happened after the plane fell a whopping 6000 feet.
"Suddenly the aircraft starts tilting up and there was shaking so I
started bracing for what was happening, and very suddenly there was a
very dramatic drop so everyone seated and not wearing seatbelt was
launched immediately into the ceiling," a passenger said.

This happened to me once. Of course not close to this event, but the turbulence was big enough for people to start to scream and I was close to hit my head on the seat in front of me. Lucky for me, I'm a "always seat belt on" guy.
The weather must have been very violent that week, because a colleague of mine flying the same route a day before or after (can't remember) experienced a complete power loss due to a lightning strike (perhaps?). He said it was a spooky feeling sitting there in the dark until the captain said there was no need to worry and that they had the backup power online soon.

Flying is always makes me a little nervous. Where as other modes of transportation may statistically be more dangerous, only flying gives you that 90 second to two minute warning that you are about to die a horrible death. The others, you don't know until it happens.
Interesting perspective! I'll save that as a conversation starter the next time I attend a party! =) (No, I don't care much for boring polite subject) ;)
