<p style="font-weight: 400;">The wife of actor Matthew McConaughey <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11814921/Camila-Alves-McConaughey-board-Lufthansa-flight-dropped-4K-feet-injured-7.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> she was aboard the ill-fated Lufthansa flight from Austin, Texas, to Frankfurt, <span data-track-module="internal-body-link">Germany, that was struck by lightning.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The resulting turbulence from the plane’s fall on Wednesday caused seven people to be taken to the hospital after making an emergency landing in Virginia.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“On Flight last night, I was told plane dropped almost 4000 feet, 7 people went to the hospital,” Camila Alves McConaughey wrote on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTOuPOovfm/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Instagram</a>. “Everything was flying everywhere. To respect the privacy of those around me that’s all I am showing but the plane was a CHAOS And the turbulence keep on coming.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“The @lufthansa flight you are seeing on the news today!!!! Yes…that one,” she acknowledged. “Thank God everyone was safe and ok. I must say everyone @marriotbonvoy by the airport of Washington where we had to divert to and spend the night was so kind! @officiallymcconaughey and I made it to the bar with 1 minute before closing … slept well, getting on new flight today. To the journey I continue.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Another passenger aboard the Lufthansa flight told <a href="https://twitter.com/GMA/status/1631269180962897922" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Good Morning America</a>, “I don&#8217;t think even any of the people on board — the cabin crew — I don&#8217;t think any of them have experienced anything like this. This was shocking. It was kind of like you&#8217;re in slow motion. You just see everything — like in a movie where you see everything lift and all of a sudden it just comes right back down.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Flight LH469 “encountered brief but severe turbulence about 90 minutes after takeoff,” Lufthansa said in a statement, adding that the crew “made an unscheduled landing at Washington Dulles Airport as a precautionary measure.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Another passenger <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/01/lufthansa-turbulence-lh469-dulles-aiport/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> the plane went into “free fall,&#8221; adding that passengers and food “went flying into the air, hitting and even damaging the ceiling of the plane.&#8221; The passenger claimed someone in front of them was “badly hurt” with blood dispersed over their seat.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Another person, whose sister and brother were reportedly on the flight, said her siblings said “it was exceptionally scary, lots of broke [sic] glass and screaming and multiple injuries.”</p>
