If you said to yourself, "Self, I feel 45% dumber for having read that, and in no way enlightened," you may be on the right track.
Passenger Brian Jokat described the horrifying moment when he was woken from his sleep as the aircraft “dropped something to the effect of 500 feet instantly.”
“That’s when I opened my eyes and there was various individuals at the top of the plane. Just stuck to the roof and then they fell to the floor. And then I just realized I’m not in a movie, this is actually for real,” he told CNN’s Erin Burnett.
After landing in Auckland, Jokat said the pilot checked on the passengers and explained he had temporarily lost control of the jet.
“I immediately engaged with him and said, ‘What was that?’ And he openly admitted, he said, ‘I lost control of the plane. My gauges just kind of went blank on me,’” Jokat said.
“He said for that brief moment he couldn’t control anything and that’s when the plane did what it did. Then he said the gauges came back and it reengaged, the plane just reengaged to its normal flight pattern. And we had no issues before, no issues after. But just that moment.”

Unspecified, the event is reported as a "technical event."

Should I work at Boeing?
Should IKEA be making jetliners?
