Would you like tea or coffee with that, sir? The chaotic in-flight mess after sudden bout of turbulence hit jet as dinner was served
- Meals ended up in aisles and coffee on the ceiling after plane lost altitude
- Eleven passengers and one crew member were injured on the flight
- One passenger took pictures of the mess and posted them online
We may have all experienced turbulence on flights, but when a rough patch is so bad that the ceiling ends up covered in coffee then you know it's serious.
Passengers on a recent Singapore Airlines flight were left surrounded by a chaotic mess after their flight fell 20 metres when it hit severe turbulence.
A total of 11 passengers and one crew member were injured on flight SQ308 from Singapore to London last Sunday.

Passengers were left surrounded by this chaotic mess after the plane hit turbulence
Flight attendants were told to immediately take their seats just before the aircraft hit the turbulence
Coffee can be seen on the ceiling of the Singapore to Heathrow flight following the turbulence
Alan Cross told ABC News that passengers had been warned to expect turbulence and that the breakfast service would be temporarily suspended.
A short while after the seat belt sign came on, the captain issued an abrupt order for all flight attendants to take their seats immediately.
Mr Cross said the subsequent turbulence felt 'like being in an elevator with a cut cable or free-falling from some amusement park ride.'
He said everything that was not tied down, including people, hit the ceiling.
The airline told The Australian: 'Eleven passengers and one crew member sustained minor injuries when the aircraft experienced a sudden loss of altitude and were attended to by medical personnel on arrival at Heathrow Airport. Seat-belt signs were on at the time and meal services had already been suspended.'
Mr Cross said anything that wasn't tied down hit the ceiling when the plane lost altitude
Mr Cross said the cabin crew and passengers were 'amazing' in the aftermath, as 'a calm and efficient clean-up' was underway
