Narrative:
While securing the aft galley for landing in dfw, the aircraft swerved and dipped, throwing me in the air. I landed on my tailbone and hit my head on the cart compartment door. I was told by the cockpit crew that a military aircraft was taking off under us and was coming too close, he was trying to get away.
