We were going and there was a drop like you were going down the bottom of a roller coaster. Reporter one passenger reports seeing a woman flying out of her seat. The lady three rows in front of me bashed her head to the plastic. The plastic was broken. Reporter this photo shows cracks in another overhead compartment after a passenger crashed into it.
