Severe Turbulence on Avianca Flight Injures 8, Forces Emergency Landing in Miami | NewsRadio WIOD

MIAMI, FL — Federal aviation officials have launched an investigation after an international flight bound for New York was forced to make an emergency diversion to Miami International Airport following a severe bout of mid-air turbulence that left multiple passengers injured.

Avianca Airlines Flight 252, which originated from Medellin, Colombia, was en route to New York when it encountered extreme, sudden atmospheric disruption.Terrifying footage captured by passengers and shared widely across social media platforms shows the moment the aircraft was violently rocked by rapid, sudden drops in altitude.

The viral video depicts an immediate scene of panic and chaos inside the cabin as loose items, carry-on bags, and unbuckled travelers were thrown into overhead bins and the ceilings of the aircraft. Passengers can be heard screaming as the flight crew worked frantically to stabilize the cabin amid the severe shaking.

Emergency medical teams and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel met the aircraft directly on the tarmac immediately upon landing. First responders confirmed that eight passengers were stabilized and transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. Hospital officials noted that the victims are currently being treated primarily for moderate-to-severe head and shoulder injuries sustained when they were thrown from their seats.

originated from Medellin, Colombia, was en route to New York when it encountered extreme, sudden atmospheric disruption.Terrifying footage captured by passengers and shared widely across social media platforms shows the moment the aircraft was violently rocked by rapid, sudden drops in altitude.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>The viral video depicts an immediate scene of panic and chaos inside the cabin as loose items, carry-on bags, and unbuckled travelers were thrown into overhead bins and the ceilings of the aircraft. Passengers can be heard screaming as the flight crew worked frantically to stabilize the cabin amid the severe shaking.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003cp>Emergency medical teams and Miami-Dade Fire Rescue personnel met the aircraft directly on the tarmac immediately upon landing. First responders confirmed that eight passengers were stabilized and transported to Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. Hospital officials noted that the victims are currently being treated primarily for moderate-to-severe head and shoulder injuries sustained when they were thrown from their seats.\u003c/p>\n\n”,”schedule”:{},”type”:”html”},{“attributes”:{“@provider”:”NBC 6 South Florida”,”@query”:”https://www.nbcmiami.com/wp-json/oembed/1.0/embed?format=json&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nbcmiami.com%2Fnews%2Flocal%2Fsevere-turbulence-diverts-avianca-plane-miami-airport-medellin-new-york%2F3870729%2F”,”@url”:”https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/severe-turbulence-diverts-avianca-plane-miami-airport-medellin-new-york/3870729/”,”author_name”:”Briana Trujillo”,”author_url”:”https://www.nbcmiami.com/?p=2340778″,”height”:338,”html”:”\u003cblockquote class=\”wp-embedded-content\” data-secret=\”fEiZAiOmyw\”>\u003ca href=\”https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/severe-turbulence-diverts-avianca-plane-miami-airport-medellin-new-york/3870729/\”>8 people hospitalized after severe turbulence diverts Avianca plane to MIA\u003c/a>\u003c/blockquote>\u003ciframe sandbox=\”allow-scripts\” security=\”restricted\” src=\”https://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/severe-turbulence-diverts-avianca-plane-miami-airport-medellin-new-york/3870729/embed/#?secret=fEiZAiOmyw\” width=\”600\” height=\”338\” title=\”“8 people hospitalized after severe turbulence diverts Avianca plane to MIA” — NBC 6 South Florida\” data-secret=\”fEiZAiOmyw\” frameborder=\”0\” marginwidth=\”0\” marginheight=\”0\” scrolling=\”no\” class=\”wp-embedded-content\”>\u003c/iframe>\u003cscript type=\”text/javascript\”>\n/* \u003c![CDATA[ */\n/*!
