Amazing.
I've been on MANY UA flights where there was turbulence towards the end of the flight so the flight attendants were unable to do their pre-landing checks. It's really not all that uncommon.
There are no indications that this is the case here, but who knows--there are a number of reasonable explanations for how this could have happened that don't require indicting the flight attendants.
