🔗 Share this article Multiple Injured as Turbulence Strikes A Delta Airlines Plane Landing at Sydney The airline reported the Airbus A350 experienced "momentary turbulence" as it arrived at its destination. Multiple passengers and crew have been injured when a Delta Airlines aircraft from LA to Sydney, Australia encountered significant turbulence on Friday morning. Flight DL41 "encountered brief turbulence" as it landed at Sydney Airport, a representative for the carrier informed. Four flight attendants sustained injuries. Local paramedics said they evaluated a total of five people, and took a trio to a medical facility with minor injuries that included back pain and migraines. The injured ranged from their 30s up to the 70s. It is the most recent case of commercial jets experiencing atmospheric disturbance, with researchers pointing out that global warming is a key driver. On board were 245 people and 15 crew members on the Airbus A350, the official added, adding that the plane touched down "safely and normally" at Sydney Airport at shortly before 7 a.m. on the day in question. The NSW Ambulance Service reported they were alerted just a mere three minutes before the plane landed, and response teams were ready and waiting at the airport. The reasons turbulence is growing more common - and potentially more dangerous. During the past year, two dozen individuals were injured when a Delta Airlines flight, on a route from Salt Lake City, Utah to Amsterdam, Netherlands, experienced "severe" turbulence just a couple of hours into the transoceanic journey, and was forced to make an emergency landing. Recently, travelers and staff on a Singapore Airlines jet endured a frightening short but intense of severe turbulence. One passenger lost their life and many were hurt, as those without seatbelts rose out of their seats and fell back down. Turbulence is fairly routine on aircraft journeys, and while cases of significant turbulence seem to be rising, they are statistically infrequent. Research indicates that there are around five thousand cases of significant in-flight disturbance every year, out of a overall number of over 35 million journeys that are conducted globally. Severe turbulence is defined as when the up and down movements of a aircraft going through rough air masses exert in excess of a significant G-force on your body - enough to throw you from your seat if you weren't wearing a restraint. As global warming modifies weather patterns, researchers alert that flying could become bumpier: shifts in temperature and shifting wind patterns in the jet stream level are projected to increase the frequency and intensity of severe turbulence.
