Narrative:

Without warning, aircraft went into a severe and abrupt drop. All persons and items not secured to aircraft were thrust up into the air. I was near the ceiling and could see the beverage cart had risen above passenger seats as well. When aircraft stopped drop, all carts were overturned, coach cabin flight attendants were on the floor, and the coach cabin was covered with beverages and garbage. A row of oxygen masks at row xx deployed. As soon as I believed it safe to stand, I moved to, and belted into, 3R jumpseat. The captain made a PA and I moved through the cabin, checking for passenger injuries. No injuries. After cleaning up passenger, cabin, and ourselves, we resumed service. The entire crew went through the rest of the service 'in shock.' captain never addressed the severity of the drop. He never even came to check out the cabin crew or the cabin condition. He did not talk to anyone in our cabin to ask if we needed medical attention, physically or mentally. On landing, the passenger deplaned and the cockpit crew was gone. The flight attendants were met by flight service supervisors and assisted to a medical facility. I feel there was nothing that could've prevented the aircraft drop, but the captain could've made an effort to communicate with the crew to ensure crew safety as well as checking aircraft integrity to safely continue the flight.
