On September 29, 2004, about 1345 eastern daylight time, a
Boeing 767-232, N109DL, registered to and operated by Delta Air
Lines Inc., as a Title 14 CFR Part 121 scheduled international

which resulted in an injury, while over the Caribbean Sea.
Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument
flight rules flight plan was filed. The airline transport-rated
pilot, first officer, 4 flight attendants, and 138 passengers
were not injured. One flight attendant was seriously injured,
and the airplane was not damaged. The flight originated in

An official with Delta Airlines stated that the airplane had been descending, and was about 20 minutes from landing in Aruba, Netherlands Antilles, when it encountered turbulence. He further stated that the seat belt sign had been illuminated, but a flight attendant who was standing in the aft galley, was lifted from her feet, and she came to rest on the floor of the airplane, receiving a serious injury as a result of the brief turbulence encounter. |
CHICAGO (AP) — An American Airlines flight from New York hit air turbulence Wednesday, injuring four flight attendants. The plane made an emergency landing in Chicago.
Flight 117 from JFK Airport was headed to Los Angeles when the 767 experienced turbulence as it was climbing at 30,000 feet, said American Airlines spokesman Tim Wagner.
None of the flight's 137 passengers were injured because the sign to fasten their seat belts was on, Wagner said.
The plane landed at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport as a precaution so the injured flight attendants, suffering bruises or strained necks, could receive medical care.
The passengers transferred to a new aircraft — a Boeing 757 — so the 767 they were on could be examined for possible damage, Wagner said.
Passengers described several seconds of scary shaking after the plane landed Wednesday night at Los Angeles International Airport about 3 1/2hours late.
"It just hit us all at once, and it just, you know, shocked me," passenger Nancy Roncone told KABC-TV. "I thought maybe the plane cracked in half."
Passenger John Kiloran described the turbulence as "5 or 10 seconds of just like crash, bang, boom, up and down. And immediately they knew something was wrong with the stewardesses. They called anyone who was a physician, they asked for a doctor to come help."
Five crew members aboard an Orlando-bound flight from Puerto Rico were injured Sunday evening when the 737 aircraft hit turbulence, authorities said. ATA Airlines Flight 533 hit clear air turbulence en route from San Juan, Orlando International Airport spokeswoman Carolyn Fennell said.
The flight with 207 passengers on board landed at the Orlando airport about 6:40 p.m., Fennell said. The five injured flight attendants were taken to Florida Hospital East.
The injuries were not life-threatening, Fennell said. Many of the injured people were thrown around the airplane during the turbulence and suffered neck, back and leg problems. Officials from ATA Airlines could not be reached for comment.
