A plane made an emergency landing at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on Wednesday after dozens of passengers were injured by "significant" in-flight turbulence, according to the airline. The airport says Delta Air Lines Flight 56 en route from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam diverted to MSP, landing safely around 7:45 p.m.

Severe turbulence on a Delta Air Lines flight en route from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam on Wednesday forced the aircraft to make an emergency landing at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, airline officials said.

Serious injuries from in-flight turbulence are rare, but scientists say they may be becoming more common as climate change alters the jet stream.
