Turbulência em um voo da American Airlines do Brasil para Miami, confirmou uma porta-voz no aeroporto
Gillas Correa, que estava a bordo, disse ter sentido uma queda abrupta. "Havia muitas pessoas gritando e chorando, contou Correa. Havia uma mulher sentada numa poltrona dupla atrás de nós, que foi jogada para o alto e caiu no corredor do avião", completou
"Mas eles deram sorte", comentou Correa, "porque um dos passageiros que estava na porta de emergência era um médico que ajudou a tratar os ferimentos enquanto eles estavam voando".
Seis tripulantes ficaram feridos devido à turbulência, disse Levrant. Dos seis, um foi tratado no aeroporto e cinco foram hospitalizados. Um foi levado para o Metropolitan Hospital of Miami, enquanto os outros quatro foram transportados para o Jackson Memorial Hospital.
