&gt; &quot;I think we were about 20 minutes from landing when we got into a cloud of hail and thunderstorm, and the turbulence started,&quot; Emmeley Oakley, a passenger on the flight, told ABC News via text...<p>&gt; ...a Mayday call was made due to the damage.<p>&gt; &quot;The cabin crew did a really good job calming [...] people down though,&quot; Oakley wrote.<p>&gt; &quot;It was a pretty uneventful flight for 90% of the trip,&quot; Oakley said.<p>Somehow, I doubt that any of the more sensation-oriented news outlets will bother Ms. Oakley for her account of the incident.
