From the Wikipedia article

EVA Air Flight 2196 was a flight from Chiang Kai-shek International Airport, Taiwan, to Narita Airport, Tokyo, Japan. On 28 March 2005, while an EVA Air Airbus A330 was operating this flight, it encountered clear-air turbulence, which injured 10 cabin crew members and 46 passengers, caused parts of the cabin ceiling and oxygen masks to fall, and deformed passengers' luggage bins; it eventually landed successfully at Narita Airport, Tokyo.
