Turbulence on Delta Flight Sends Passengers to Hospital
A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam encountered rough air, known as turbulence.
This caused the plane to make an unexpected landing in Minneapolis.
Several passengers were hurt during the turbulence and needed to go to the hospital.
The turbulence caused things inside the plane to move around.
Experts suggest that changes in the weather may be making these events happen more often.
Delta flight DL56 from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam experienced severe turbulence.
The plane diverted to Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport.
25 passengers were hospitalized following the incident.
One passenger said people who weren't wearing seat belts were thrown about the cabin.
Scientists say turbulence incidents may be becoming more common due to climate change.
