What happened
The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.
(-23) Asaa flt 135 was on descent to the anc int'l airport. The capt notified the cabin crew to pick up the service items early and buckle up on descent as there were reports of turbulence in the anc area. The "c" flight attendant ^priva^ had just completed all her duties and had just sat down and fastened her seat belt. She then noticed that not all of the locks were fastened holding a service cart. Moments later the aircraft encountered smooth flt conditions so she decided to unfasten her belt to secure the latchs. At that moment the aircraft encountered turbulence causing her to hit her head on the ceiling and she landed on her ankle. As a result her ankle was broken in three places.
