A Continental Airlines flight from Brazil to Houston hit turbulence over the Atlantic ocean that injured 26 people, forcing an emergency landing in Miami early Monday, officials said. Four people were seriously injured aboard the Boeing 767-200 and another 22 were in stable condition with bumps and bruises. Continental Flight 128 was traveling from Rio de Janeiro to Houston with 168 people on board when it was diverted. Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the turbulence struck when the plane was about halfway between Puerto Rico and Grand Turk island, north of the Dominican Republic. The plane reported hitting severe turbulence at 4:30 a.m. and landed safely at 5:30 a.m, Bergen said | |
