The seatbelt sign was on at the time, but not every passenger had theirs fastened.
One passenger, Kaylee Reyes, who was flying with her mother said her mom had just sat down after using the restroom and didn’t have a chance to buckle her seat belt when the turbulence first began.A thunderstorm advisory was in effect for areas including Oahu and the plane’s flight path at the time of turbulence, according to Thomas Vaughan, a meteorologist at the Honolulu outpost of the National Weather Service.
The phenomenon could have been an instance of “clear-air turbulence” that happens in cirrus clouds or sometimes clear air near thunderstorms, rather than in the storms themselves. The differences in temperature and pressure create powerful currents of fast-moving air, making clear-air turbulence the most dangerous type of turbulence.
