Matthew McConaughey wasn't initially wearing seat belt on flight that injured 7: 'Hell of a scare'

Matthew McConaughey recently shared his experiences as a passenger on board a Lufthansa flight in March during which seven passengers were injured.

The "Interstellar" actor flew alongside his wife, model Camila Alves, and a friend, who happened to be a pilot, in the Frankfurt, Germany-bound Airbus A330 last month, which took off from Austin, Texas.

As the plane flew about 37,000 feet above Tennessee, it encountered sudden and severe turbulence, dropping about 10,000 feet in just 10 minutes, according to ABC News. At one point, the plane fell 1,000 feet within one minute.
