New Zealand flight NZ90 to Auckland encountered horrific turbulence during dinner service. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner was in the air since 1 hour from Tokyo Narita when passengers screamed as the plane dropped sharply twice without warning and started shaking violently sending wine arcing into the overhead luggage compartments and fully laden food trays littering aisles.
