Had some rough turbulence on a flight once and that while not really that bad, it really scared me a lot! I would find it unlikely that passengers would really know what was going on during the flight as there are other people to handle the situation. If anything, my condolences to the family of the pilot.

I was flying to Vegas years ago. It was a super routine flight, until all of the sudden the plane descended super rapidly. I was in the aisle and didn't see it, but according to the person in the window seat, there was a plane coming right toward us, which is why the pilot of our plane dropped altitude. No idea if this was actually the case, but the idea of being in a midair collision is terrifying.

Aborted landing into Minneapolis. Very steep and rapid upward acceleration.

Pilot announces “sorry about that, there was another plane in the way. We’ll circle around and try this again”
