Actually it says a second (in the quote from the passenger, ignoring the attention seeking byline) - which I imagine most people would interpret as meaning "quick" or "rapid".
The article doesn't look too bad to me, they were lucky more people weren't injured.

While I feel very sorry for the lady, this is to be expected from that quality rag. Oh, and a nice little twist towards DVT. It's got it all!

Just curious as to how this poor lady was apparently the only casualty? Surely with turbulence extreme enough to cause these injuries one might expect that others would have been similarly hurt? It seems odd.

I love the
"Elizabeth knew the risk of DVT a potentially fatal blood clot which usually develops in the leg veins on flights"
That could be interpreted as "It is usual for DVT to develop on flights" i.e. You go on a flight, you usually get DVT
