This is the dramatic moment plane passengers scream as the aircraft moves up and down while encountering severe turbulence during a storm.

The scene was captured from onboard an Airbus A320neo twin-jet plane operated by Juneyao Airlines for flight HO1188 on September 18.

Mr. Wang, who filmed the video, said that the flight was originally scheduled to travel from Hailar, in China's Inner Mongolia Region, to Shenyang, located in Liaoning Province.

However, due to weather conditions preventing landing, the aircraft had to make an unscheduled stop at Changbai Mountain Airport, which is about 200 miles from its original destination.

Wang said: 'I received a weather alert message locally, but I didn't pay much attention to it because the flight was scheduled to depart. We boarded the plane.'

However, Wang said that when the aircraft was approaching Shenyang, cabin crew informed passengers that due to weather conditions, the plane could not descend.

He said: 'The aircraft kept circling, and at around 9:00 pm, it made an unscheduled landing at Changbai Mountain Airport.'

Throughout this period, the plane experienced severe turbulence multiple times, causing significant shaking inside the cabin.

Footage captured by Wang shows passengers screaming and crying as they feared they might crash.

What was initially a 40-minute flight ended up taking nearly one and a half hours before finally successfully landing in Shenyang.

The shaken passenger added: 'We encountered significant turbulence, a feeling of weightlessness as if we were descending, and everyone was screaming.'

As per his knowledge, no one was injured on the plane. He added: 'After landing, everyone applauded.' The airline later said: 'The passengers safely arrived in Shenyang at 11:18 pm, and the significant turbulence was due to weather conditions.'

Turbulence is not typically dangerous for planes. Aircraft are designed to withstand turbulence of all kinds, from light to extreme and there is no recorded case of a commercial airliner crashing due to turbulence. However, passengers who are not wearing seatbelts can be injured if they are shaken around inside the cabin.
