Newark-bound plane diverted to Boston hits turbulence, 2 injured

BOSTON (AP) — Two people on a Delta Air Lines international flight diverted to Boston because of bad weather in the New York area were taken to a hospital after the plane encountered turbulence approaching Logan International Airport.

Delta said Wednesday afternoon that "a small number of customers" on Flight 271 Paris complained of nausea and possible minor injuries and were checked out by emergency medical technicians.

"You could feel it like King Kong picked up the plane and shook it like there was no tomorrow," passenger Stuart Page told ABC 7.

A Boston EMS spokeswoman said two people were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital with what are believed to be minor injuries.

The airline said Flight 271 from Paris left Boston just after 6 p.m. to resume its journey to Newark.

The plane is a Boeing 767-300ER. Delta said 180 passengers and 11 crew members were aboard.
