Ope, you won't believe what just happened on a Delta flight
So here’s the thing—you know how we Minnesotans, we usually just nod politely when someone says “turbulence” on a flight? Walaahi, I bet a lot of folks on that Delta Flight 56 from Amsterdam were doing just that until things got real. Twenty-five people had to be hospitalized after severe turbulence forced an emergency landing right here at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport. That's not just a bumpy ride over Lake Superior, you betcha. This was serious enough to send folks straight to the emergency room, right when they thought they were home free.
* **What we know so far:** * Delta Flight 56 was headed to Amsterdam but had to divert. * The plane encountered severe turbulence, injuring passengers and crew. * 25 people were hospitalized upon landing at MSP. * The incident happened Wednesday evening, July 30, 2025.
It’s a stark reminder that even after you’ve cleared customs, even after you’ve flown halfway across the world, Minneapolis can still surprise you. Imagine coming home from a European adventure, maybe you were thinking about grabbing a Jucy Lucy at Matt's Bar, or heading out to Lake Harriet for a walk, and instead, you’re on your way to Hennepin County Medical Center. Mashallah, that’s a tough welcome home. It just puts things in perspective, doesn't it?
Ope, that's the real Minneapolis — stay warm out there.
