Your flight to Amsterdam just landed in Minneapolis, ope
So here's the thing—you know how we Minnesotans, we're always just a little bit too polite? Well, even politeness can't stop gravity, or, in this case, severe turbulence. Walaahi, 25 people ending up in the hospital after a Delta flight from Amsterdam had to make an emergency landing right here at MSP, that's not just a rough ride, that's a whole lot of unexpected chaos for folks just trying to get across the ocean.
What Happened
* **The Incident:** Delta Flight 56, headed for Amsterdam, hit some serious chop over the Atlantic. * **The Fallout:** Twenty-five passengers and crew were injured, some pretty badly, and had to be taken to hospitals around the Twin Cities after the emergency landing. * **The Landing:** The plane diverted and landed safely at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, which, you betcha, is a pretty common landing spot for Delta.
It just kinda reminds you that even when you're thousands of miles up in the air, the world can still throw you a curveball. Those folks probably just wanted to be home, maybe grab a Jucy Lucy over at Matt's Bar, or bike along the Midtown Greenway, and instead, they got an unscheduled tour of our local emergency rooms. It's a jarring reminder that life, or at least air travel, can be pretty unpredictable.
Ope, that's the real Minneapolis — stay warm out there.
