An American Airlines from Brazil to Miami experienced severe turbulence. The turbulence began two hours into the flight and passengers stated "that is was like a roller coaster and some were smashed into the ceiling." Crew members suffered the most injuries when a food cart flew in the air and came crashing down on one of the flight attendants. It was total chaos when the turbulence hit "passengers were screaming and terribly scared."
