Dozens are injured over Hong Kong after two flights coming in from Thailand hit severe turbulence.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) UNIDENTIFIED PASSENGER, SAYING:

"I am going to toilette before landing, before when I am coming to my seat, I am standing and suddenly crash, crash, crash two times. And while I'm standing I'm thrown to the ceiling."

Thai Airways says 37 passengers and 15 crew members were injured on a flight from Bangkok, including one flight attendant who suffered a broken collarbone.

Meanwhile, six passengers and crew on a Hong Kong Airlines flight from Phuket were taken to hospital with injuries.
