Severe turbulence struck a Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam Wednesday, causing service carts and unbelted passengers to hit the ceiling and forcing an emergency landing in Minnesota, where 25 people on board were taken to hospitals.

Delta said flight DL56 landed safely at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport and was met by medical teams upon arrival. Video shows fire rescue vehicles waiting on the tarmac as the plane made its landing.

When the turbulence hit, Joseph Carbone grabbed his wife’s hand and braced for the worst.

“I truly thought the plane was going to go down,” the passenger told CNN.

As items flew into the air and passengers around him screamed, Carbone watched as a “flight attendant just about crashed into the ceiling.”

The flight likely hit severe turbulence over an area of southwestern Wyoming that had been identified as a potential trouble spot by federal aviation forecasters earlier in the day.

Twenty-five on board the flight were taken to area hospitals “for evaluation and care,” Delta said in a statement.

All crew members and those passengers “willing to share their status” had been released as of noon Thursday, Delta said.

“All seven crew members who were taken to area hospitals after the flight landed were treated and released by Thursday morning. All customers who were evaluated at the hospital and willing to share their status with Delta have also been released,” the airline said.

The plane was carrying 275 customers and 13 crew members, according to Delta. It’s unclear whether all passengers taken to area hospitals have been released.

The health systems HealthPartners and Allina Health told CNN Thursday morning that they were assessing and treating passengers from the flight.

 

“The overwhelming majority of the folks taken to the hospital for evaluation and treatment have been released,” a Delta spokesperson told CNN earlier Thursday morning.

northern routes lo either gaali lo edho aithundi, wind pattern or what ever weather models shown on TV....or the pilots are given free hand to speed as much as possible (like doing 80-90 in a 70max zone)

or boeing 737, 787 design is flawed for example like using something like a chethak or vespa scooter engine with bicycle body to save money per flight ....747 rock solid untunde, kavali ani most of them are decommissioned ...crony capitalism

I was traveling from west coast to chicago area last month, thanesa bucket anukuna; same thing in december travelling to baja california, ...airbus itineary chusthe hai ga untundhi
