Matthew McConaughey’s wife Camila Alves has shared the details of her terrifying journey on a Lufthansa flight.
The 40-year-old was on the flight from Austin, Texas to Frankfurt, Germany when the plane was diverted to Washington D.C. after severe turbulence injured seven people.
Lufthansa flight 469 was flying 37,000 feet over Tennessee on Wednesday evening when the crew reported severe turbulence.
The Brazilian model shared a brief video on her Instagram on Thursday afternoon, which showed food, food trays, shelves and other items littering the aisle due to the severe turbulence.
Alves, who described the flight as “chaos” added: “On flight last night, plane dropped almost 4000 feet, seven people went to the hospital.
“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.
“The @lufthansa flight you are seeing on the news today!!!! Yes…that one. Thank God everyone was safe and ok,” she continued.
She also thanked the staff of the Marriot Bonvoy hotel, near the airport where she spent the night due to the diversion, for being “so kind”.
“We made it to the bar with 1 minute before closing…” she said. “Slept well, getting on new flight today.
“To the journey I continue…,” she concluded.
The incident came just months after Alves suffered a neck injury from falling down a flight of stairs.
