United Airlines flight experiences extreme turbulence, ‘entire flight threw up’

A United Airlines flight from Charlottesville, VA, to Washington, D.C., turned into a turbulent nightmare after facing wind gusts of more than 70 miles per hour.

The flight was en route to Washington Dulles International Airport when it was hit with bad weather from a powerful nor’easter, bombarding the East Coast with violent winds, torrential rain and snow.

The flight – reportedly a Bombardier CRJ200 with a passenger capacity of 50 and crew of three – experienced a rough landing because of the storm, which caused “pretty much every one on the plane” to throw up, according to a pilot’s report.

“VERY BUMPY ON DESCENT. PRETTY MUCH EVERY ONE ON THE PLANE THREW UP. PILOTS WERE ON THE VERGE OF THROWING UP,” the pilot’s report to the National Weather Service read.
