My worst plane ride was in a 12 seat prop style plane going from Seattle to Pullman Washington. In the process, you immediately have to cross over the Cascade moutain range. Just as we got over them, the turbulence got to what I can only describe as insane. The plane literally was thrown up and down like a little toy, and dropping so hard and fast that I was straining against my seatbelt. 2 Japanese exchange student girls who were in the plane started screaming and crying. I assumed we were dead at this point. It didnt help when I looked at the little steward buckled into his seat and he was looking like "oh fuck".
And almost as quickly and brutally as it started, it stopped. Two minutes later, the captain comes on laughing... fucking laughing, and says (in his sterotypical captains voice) "welllllll... looks like we had ourselves a little turbulence. We were never in any danger, sit back and enjoy the rest of the flight".
After that, the turbulence in a 747 never quite bothered me as much.
