Camila Alves McConaughey shared details of the wild turbulence on social media but did not say in her post if either she or her husband Matthew McConaughey suffered any injuries.

The McConaugheys were aboard a Lufthansa flight that experienced “significant turbulence” and resulted in seven people being hospitalized, according to Camila Alves McConaughey.

The Brazilian model shared a post on her Instagram account showing food scattered across the floor on the flight she was on. She said she was told that the flight “dropped almost 4,000 feet,” and that “everything was flying everywhere.” In an Instagram story, she said the turbulence lasted for 45 minutes.

The model did not say in her post if either she or her husband Matthew McConaughey suffered any injuries, but said “everyone was safe and OK.” She also thanked the Marriott hotel near the airport for their hospitality.

The model said she will be boarding another flight and asked her followers to “wish me luck.”

Flight 469 from Austin, Texas, had been headed to Frankfurt, Germany and experienced severe turbulence before landing safely Wednesday evening at Washington Dulles International Airport, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority spokesman Michael Cabbage said.

Crews responded to the flight and took seven people to hospitals with injuries that were believed to be minor, Cabbage said.

The Airbus A330 reported severe turbulence at an altitude of 37,000 feet (about 11,300 meters) while flying over Tennessee, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement. The agency is investigating.
