A flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was hit by serious
turbulence Wednesday evening, injuring passengers and forcing
the flight to divert to Minneapolis-St. Paul International
Airport, according to Delta.
The flight landed around 7:45 p.m.
The airline said that the airport fire department and paramedics
met the flight and 25 passengers were taken to local hospitals
for evaluation and treatment.
Serious injuries from in-flight turbulence are rare, but
scientists say they may be becoming more common as climate
change alters the jet stream.
A man was killed when a Singapore Airlines flight hit severe
turbulence in May 2024, the first person to die from turbulence
on a major airline in several decades.
