24 People Hospitalized After Turbulence On JetBlue Flight


Story out of The Sky:

At least 22 customers and two crew members were taken to a hospital for evaluation after a JetBlue flight experienced rough turbulence Thursday evening, a spokeswoman for the airline said.

JetBlue Flight 429 was headed from Boston to Sacramento, but had to be diverted to Rapid City, South Dakota, at about 6:30 p.m. (8:30 p.m. ET), spokeswoman Katherine McMillan said.

Passenger Derek Lindahl said a woman sitting in front of him rose 2 feet into the air in the cabin at one point because she wasn't wearing a seat belt.

"I literally grabbed her out of the air to hold her to the seat," said Lindahl, a software engineer from Sacramento.

Lindahl praised the flight crew and emergency responders at the Rapid City airport.

"Even though all flight crew were injured in some way, as far as I know, they all maintained their calm and never cracked," he said. Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
