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.

A plane flying to Amsterdam was diverted to MSP after experiencing "significant" turbulence, injuring some passengers.
