"All of a sudden, the plane took a nosedive down,” passenger Brian Jokat told NBC News. “People were flying out of their seats, hitting the roof, being thrown back four or five aisles back.”

A passenger has told NBC News of the dramatic incident that saw people aboard a Boeing flight thrown into the ceiling, as authorities probed what caused the plane’s sudden mid-air plunge.
More than a dozen people were rushed to the hospital on Monday and at least 50 injured after a LATAM airlines flight traveling from Sydney, Australia to Auckland, New Zealand experienced a “strong shake,” officials said.
The aircraft’s pilot told the passengers the flight had suffered equipment failure for a few seconds, causing the plane to drop for almost 500 feet in the air, Jokat said.
Most notably, the door panel of an Alaska airlines flight blew out midair over Portland, Oregon on Jan. 5, prompting a criminal investigation by the Department of Justice.
Last week, a tire came off a United Airlines flight shortly after taking off from San Francisco, hitting cars parked near the airport.
And an investigation is underway after another Boeing-made plane flown by United suffered “stuck” rudder pedals at Newark Airport in New Jersey last month.
