I was aboard a TG flight last month and we encountered turbulence a couple minutes after takeoff. Luckily people were still buckled in and there were no injuries. There was some stuff flying around the cabin and people were screaming like on a roller coaster .

The pilot later made an an announcement and apology. He said we experienced -1.3Gs and the plane was designed was designed for -2.5.
