It is necessary to maintain the ability to suspend disbelief. The actor said, “I mean, it’s zero gravity,” as he recalled the severe turbulence he encountered on a Lufthansa flight earlier this month.
Actor Matthew McConaughey is reminiscing about his recent flight on a Lufthansa plane that experienced severe turbulence.
The 53-year-old Academy Award winner and his wife, Camila Alves, were flying from Austin, Texas, to Frankfurt, Germany, when the plane had to make an emergency landing at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.
It is necessary to suspend disbelief. In a sneak peek for his upcoming appearance on the Let’s Talk Off Camera podcast, McConaughey remarked, “I mean, it’s zero gravity.”.
The memories of the flight were previously posted on Instagram by Alves, 41, who noted that “the plane dropped almost 4000 feet”.
McConaughey claimed that as soon as the plane touched down, he “immediately reached over, made sure Camila had her seatbelt on.”.
Kelly Ripa, the host of the podcast, heard him admit, “My tray table held me down. ”. “I wasn’t wearing my seatbelt, and there was no warning right before it happened,” he said, describing it as a “hell of a scare”.
Everything else, including your glass of red wine and the plates holding your food, is suspended in midair. And to stare at that for one, two, three, or four [seconds] before it all comes crashing down,” he added.
The Dallas Buyers Club actor claimed that his pilot friend, who was seated next to him, offered comfort during the terrifying incident.
I was seated next to a pilot friend of mine. As cool as a cucumber, McConaughey added. He answered, “These things are so tested that yes, don’t worry, the plane structurally can hold that,” when I asked him if the plane could support that. ”. That brought me great relief.
According to the FAA, seven passengers on Lufthansa Flight 469 were taken to the hospital after experiencing “severe turbulence” while the aircraft was traveling 37,000 feet above Tennessee. Around 9:10 p.m., according to the FAA, the aircraft “without incident” touched down at the Virginia airport.
