No.
While I'm sure that's a good description of the state of the pax when they disembarked, the reference in the article linked by the OP said
"Seven people have been injured when a plane hit turbulence while landing at Sydney's International Airport. Five passengers and two crew members were taken to hospital after China Eastern flight MU777 from China encountered a shaky landing about 2.45pm on Tuesday. Three suffered neck injuries, while the others suffered a lacerated jaw, minor head wound, wrist injury and back pain."
which is a ludicrous way to describe something that had actually happened at 20,000 feet, 20 minutes previously..
