Delta Flight Hits Turbulence, Makes Emergency Landing

A Delta plane flew to Europe. It had very bad shaking, so it landed early. Twenty-five people went to the hospital in Minneapolis after the landing.

Some people did not wear seat belts on the plane. They were thrown around inside, said a passenger. The carts also moved a lot, and some people got hurt on the plane.

The plane had many people on board, about 275 customers. There were also thirteen crew members working. After landing, doctors helped 25 people who needed medical care.

Bad shaking on planes is not common, but it can happen. Scientists think climate change might make it worse. This year, there have been other flights with shaking, making people think about safety.

Many people got better and left the hospital, including crew. Delta sent another plane to Amsterdam later. There have been other cases of turbulence on flights this year, causing injuries.
