Eight passengers and one crew member were hurt on a Northwest Airlines flight that hit severe turbulence yesterday. The NWA Airbus A330 was headed from Tokyo to Honolulu when it ‘encountered severe turbulence over Midway Island,” according to The Associated Press. Two passengers also were hospitalized with what the Honolulu Star-Bulletin characterized as “minor injuries.”

Those severe turbulences are not unusual over the pacific.
Buckle up buddies!!! …… and remain on your seat.
I don’t know how many times i’ve crossed the Pacific from Sydney to Lax and nearly always hit moderate to heavy turbulence around the equator

lets hope theres no severe turbulence on my NWA A330 to Boston this weekend 🙁
would the injuries likely be people caught off guard without seatbelts?
