One person is dead after a private jet suffered severe turbulence that
forced the plane to land in a Connecticut airport, officials said Sunday.
A Bombardier CL30 jet departed Dillant-Hopkins Airport in Keene, New
Hampshire, Friday en route to Leesburg Executive Airport in Virginia, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement to USA TODAY. During
the flight, the plane encountered "severe turbulence" and diverted to
Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, around 4 p.m. local time.
The National Transportation Safety Board told USA TODAY three passengers
and two crew members were on the jet, and the turbulence resulted "in
fatal injuries" to one of the passengers.
Aviation officials investigate severe turbulence incident
The NTSB is leading an investigation into the incident, alongside the FAA.
The aircraft is secured at Bradley International Airport, the NTSB said.
"NTSB investigators have removed the cockpit voice recorder and flight
data recorder and are continuing to gather information from the flight
crew, operator, and passengers about the circumstances of the event," the agency added.
A preliminary report is expected to be released within the next three
weeks.
Deceased individual identified
Connecticut State Police confirmed to USA TODAY the deceased individual
was 55-year-old Dana Hyde of Cabin John, Maryland.
Authorities said state troopers responded to Bradley International
Airport, and Hyde was transported to a local hospital, where she was
pronounced dead.
What is turbulence?
The FAA defines turbulence as "air movement created by atmospheric
pressure, jet streams, air around mountains, cold or warm weather fronts
or thunderstorms" that can give airplanes "a sudden jolt."
Turbulence can be unexpected and can happen when weather conditions appear clear.
Severe turbulence and injuries
Passengers and flight crewmembers that aren't buckled into their seat
belts can sustain injuries, the FAA says. Data from the agency showed that turbulence resulted in 146 serious injuries from 2009 to 2021, 116 of
which involved crewmembers. An NTSB report found turbulence accounted for
37.6% of accidents on commercial flights from 2009 to 2018.
The FAA said a serious injury is one that results in hospitalization for
more than 48 hours, bone fractures, severe hemorrhages, involves internal organs or second-or third-degree burns.
The incident comes after seven travelers on a Lufthansa flight from
Austin, Texas to Frankfurt, Germany were hospitalized after their flight
hit a "brief but severe" patch of turbulence. In December, 36 people were injured after a Hawaiian Airlines flight from Phoenix to Honolulu was
struck by severe turbulence.
