Pilot discovers genius idea to overcome fear of turbulence (video)

A pilot has explained that people should not be afraid of turbulence as planes are built to handle much worse situations.

He shared a genius trick on TikTok for anyone who is afraid of turbulence on airplanes. Jimmy Nicholson is an Australian pilot who has experienced a lot of turbulence, which can sometimes seem scary, but is just a sudden change in air flow.

Nicholson posted a video on his TikTok account to show "some of the worst turbulence" he's ever experienced. However, throughout the short clip he appeared completely unconcerned as he spoke to the camera while other people screamed.

In the video, Nicholson said that fresh air and looking out the window can really help if you're afraid of turbulence.

But he shared another trick involving a water bottle that he says will go a long way in keeping you calm if you think the plane is about to crash. The man held up his water bottle to show how quiet the plane really was.

“We're at the back of the plane, so [the turbulence] is worse here. They are not comfortable. It's probably one of the worst I've ever been through. They can be widespread storms, so they just have to take the path of least resistance and make it through. But, also, there is no reason to worry. Airplanes are built to handle much worse. It's definitely not fun, but it's perfectly fine," were his words.

Will you try this trick while on the plane?
