Passengers were left shaken and covered in food after an Air Canada flight experienced extreme turbulence last week. 

The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Flight AC19 from Vancouver to Singapore was left trashed on Friday after intense turbulence sent food flying across the cabin. 

The passenger plane dropped over 6,000 feet in roughly five minutes during the shakey flight, according to FlightAware, which caused the raucous. 

A Reddit post from Morrell Andrews shared photos of the aftermath, showing the food-painted cabin. He said that about two hours into the flight they 'hit some major bumps and everything went flying (including a few people!).'

'All you see if heads go up, food and drinks hit the roof. I hope most people had their seat belts on!! Because that would have hurt so much,' said a commenter on reddit

The post said nobody was hurt, but many were still shocked at how rocked the plane became. 

Some commenters even said they were on the same flight. One wrote: 'I was terrified, never had turbulence like that before. Really made me realize how helpless you are on a plane.' 

They added: 'All you see is heads go up, food and drinks hit the roof. I hope most people had their seat belts on!! Because that would have hurt so much.' 

The user, who said they were a passenger, added that they were unsure how far or fast the plane dropped. The flight continued on afterwards without experiencing anymore incidents.

Data from online flight tracking organization, FlightAware, showed the Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 had dropped around 6,000 feet in roughly five minutes, with thunderstorms reported in the area, according to CBS News.  

'I started cleaning my area like mad while shaking and trying to calm myself and holding back tears,' another passenger claimed following the ordeal. 

Another said: 'Me too!! It felt like one of those roller coasters where you have several seconds of weightlessness. And the cabin was full of floating food! 

'I had coffee dripping on me from the ceiling and was picking rice out of my hair afterwards.' 

Earlier this year, a flight from London to Singapore hit an air pocket and fell through the sky, leaving one passenger dead and 23 injured.  

The Boeing 777 flight experienced major turbulence, ceiling fittings had been ripped apart, and the plane was reported to have dropped 6,000 feet. 

Andrew Davies, who was on board, wrote on X: 'People's belongings were scattered, coffee and water splattered the ceiling. Surreal. So many injured people. Head lacerations, bleeding ears. A lady was screaming in pain with a bad back. I couldn't help her - just got her water.' 

Another flight from Doha to Dublin in May experienced severe turbulence that left twelve injured, eight were taken to hospital. 

The plane was reported to have dropped for a few seconds, 'next to us we saw the flight attendant just go up in the air and come straight back down,' said passenger Conor Buckley. 

The turbulence occurred during food service, sending food and flight attendants flying to the ceiling and across the cabin. 

Experts believe the increase in turbulence is due to climate change, with a 55 percent increase from 1979 to 2020. 

Pilots say there are two main types of turbulence, one is triggered by high-levels wind changes in low-level clouds and 'clear-air' turbulence from wind changes, which happens above clouds.
