TAMPA, Fla. (AP) \u2014 JetBlue passengers were taken to the hospital after a sudden altitude drop on a flight from Mexico forced an emergency landing in Florida on Thursday, according to officials.<\/p>\n

The flight from Cancun was traveling to Newark, New Jersey, when the altitude dropped. The Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement that it is investigating.<\/p>\n

The Airbus A320 was diverted to Tampa International Airport around 2 p.m, according to the FAA. <\/p>\n

The airline did not immediately respond to questions about the number of people injured and the severity of their injuries. <\/p>\n

Air traffic audio from LiveATC.net<\/a> captured a radio call that said, \u201cWe\u2019ve got at least three people injured. It seems like maybe a laceration in the head.\u201d<\/p>\n

The plane has 162 seats, according to JetBlue\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Medical officials evaluated the passengers and crewmembers at the airport before some were taken to hospitals, according to JetBlue.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team has taken the aircraft out of service for inspection, and we will conduct a full investigation to determine the cause,\u201d according to a JetBlue statement. \u201cThe safety of our customers and crewmembers is always our first priority, and we will work to support those involved.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June, a JetBlue flight<\/a> landing at Boston\u2019s Logan International Airport rolled off the runway and into the grass. No one was injured but the runway was temporarily closed.<\/p>\n

This story has been corrected to say the aircraft was an Airbus A320, not an Airbus 320 as stated by the Federal Aviation Administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"TAMPA, Fla.
