Boeing 747-100 flying from

Tokyo, to

Hawaii. Two hours into the flight, at 31,000 feet, the plane received reports of severe
clear-air turbulence in the area and the seat belt sign was turned on. Moments later, the aircraft suddenly dropped around 100 feet, seriously injuring many passengers and causing damage to the aircraft. The plane landed safely back to Tokyo, but wasn't put back in service. The incident made headlines worldwide, and television networks showed an amateur video showing the panic on-board, pieces of fallen ceiling and oxygen masks randomly down.
