A Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam had to make an emergency landing in Minneapolis after “significant turbulence,” the airline said, with more than two dozen people taken to hospitals. <\/p>\n
The flight landed around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. The airport fire department and paramedics met the flight, and 25 passengers were taken to hospitals for evaluation and treatment, the airline said.<\/p>\n
“Medical personnel met the flight upon arrival to evaluate customers and crew. Twenty-five of those on board were transported to local hospitals for evaluation and care,” the airline said in a statement provided to NBC News<\/a>. “We are grateful for the support of all emergency responders involved.”<\/p>\n “Safety is our No. 1 value at Delta, and our Delta Care Team is working directly with customers to support their immediate needs,” the airline’s statement went on to say. <\/p>\n Serious injuries from in-flight turbulence are rare, but scientists say they may be\u00a0becoming more common<\/a>\u00a0as climate change alters the jet stream.<\/p>\n
