It made me uncomfortable too, but, nobody would have believed that it was business as usual anyway. Containers were banging the frame like if there was a poltergeist ... Luckily (?), seat belt signs were on as we were still in take-off phase (which probably made the captain more stressed).

Anyway, let's not steal this thread.

Back to EK521 and all the pax and families in the turmoil.
