Matthew McConaughey’s wife had quite the adventure on Wednesday.
Camila Alves McConaughey was on the Lufthansa flight that was forced to land in Virginia after it was hit by severe turbulence, sending the Germany-bound flight into a brief free fall.
Alves posted a clip from her seat to her 1 million Instagram followers, displaying the chaos inside the plane and sharing her experience following the emergency landing.
“On Flight last night, plane dropped almost 4000 feet, 7 people went to the hospital, Everything was flying everywhere,” Alves said in her post. “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.”
At least one passenger reported the plane being struck by lightning during the flight.
“People who didn’t have the seat belts fastened got hurt mostly cause it came as surprise without seat belt sign on and lighting hit the plane badly,” the passenger’s spouse said on Twitter.
Alves confirmed her flight Wednesday was the same one that was forced to land at Dulles International Airport, after hitting “severe turbulence” over Tennessee, hospitalizing seven.
“The @lufthansa flight you are seeing on the news today!!!! Yes…that one. Thank God everyone was safe and ok,” Alves said in her caption.
The 40-year-old designer was grateful to the airline for the accommodations they gave her, and even said she got to have a drink after the rollercoaster of a flight.
“I must say everyone @marriottbonvoy by the airport of Washington where we had to divert to and spend the night was so kind! And we made it to the bar with 1 minute before closing…slept well, getting on new flight today, To the journey I continue… Karin Lacy was a savior with me until 1am working on new flights!!!”
The eventful trip continued for the model as her rescheduled flight was expected to face turbulence on Thursday.
“Just my luck, after last night, I just got on the rescheduled flight and the pilot’s saying we have a 45-minute turbulence getting out of Washington (DC), just my luck, wish me luck,” Alves said in a video to her Instagram story.
The Brazilian-born model and McConaughey have three kids together and live in Austin, Texas.
