There was the Singapore Airlines turbulence incident six days ago (One dead as Singapore Airlines flight from London hit by severe turbulence) and now this one (Twelve injured as Qatar Airways flight from Doha to Dublin hits turbulence).

I saw that,

I have a feeling this will become a lot more common going forward. I suppose if you have to travel or are traveling, keep your seatbelt on.

We did have a whole set of airplanes being smashed by hail while in flight a few years ago.
