Brief but severe turbulence happened about 90 minutes after takeoff and resulted in minor injuries to some passengers, a Lufthansa statement said.
A Lufthansa flight traveling from Texas to Germany was diverted to Virginia’s Washington Dulles International Airport on Wednesday evening because of turbulence that left some passengers injured, an airport spokesperson said. Lufthansa Flight 469, which took off from Austin, experienced “significant turbulence” and landed safely at Dulles, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority spokesperson Michael Cabbage said. Seven people were transported to hospitals, Cabbage said.
‘The plane increased altitude, then we fell 1,000 feet’ Susan Zimmerman was among the passengers on board Flight 469 when it encountered the severe turbulence on Wednesday. Zimmerman, who is from Austin and five months pregnant, told CNN she had just finished eating and was about to go to the lavatory when the turbulence hit. “During dinner service, there suddenly was a wind shear, the plane increased altitude, then we fell 1,000 feet,” she said.
