25 Injured as Delta Flight Hit by Turbulence

Delta Air Lines flight DL56 from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam made an emergency landing in Minneapolis after severe turbulence injured 25 people, all of whom were hospitalized for evaluation and care. The turbulence occurred less than an hour into the flight, which had 275 passengers and 13 crew members on board. Passengers reported multiple waves of turbulence, with food carts and other objects tossed into the air, demonstrating the suddenness and intensity of the event. Emergency responders assisted upon landing, and Delta is supporting affected passengers and crew. Experts say that while serious turbulence injuries remain rare, such incidents may be increasing due to climate change's impact on jet streams, with a recent fatality on a Singapore Airlines flight highlighting ongoing risks. The flight landed safely and no fatalities were reported.
