Description
A Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam that was hit by serious turbulence on Wednesday, sending 25 people on board to hospitals and forcing the flight to divert to Minnesota, highlights the dangers of flying through unstable air.
Several turbulence-impacted flights have been reported this year.
