Camila shared further details of the incident, saying, "The Lufthansa flight you are seeing on the news today!!!! Yes...that one. Thank God everyone was safe and okay.

A Twitter user by the name of Stryker Fadhel shared a few pictures and a video that she had captured, claiming that her wife was also on the same flight. The user said in his post, "My wife was on that flight. She sent this picture. This is what the inside looked like: food everywhere, people who didn't have the seat belts fastened got hurt mostly because it came as a surprise without seat belt signs on, and lighting hit the plane badly; it went 1k ft down and up, the pilot said."

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that the Airbus A330 experienced strong turbulence while passing over Tennessee at the height of 37,000 feet (about 11,300 metres). The company is looking into it.
