An American Airlines jet was forced to make an emergency landing in Newfoundland after experiencing severe turbulence, injuring seven people.
Flight 206 took off from Miami and was en route to Milan carrying 192 passengers.
"After landing, three flight attendants and four passengers were transported to a St. John’s hospital for further evaluation," the airline said in a statement.
"We are taking care of our passengers and crew, and we are working on next steps to get them safely to their destination."
American Airlines spokesman Kent Powell said the seatbelt sign was switched on when the turbulence struck.
Ambulances and emergency crews were waiting on the tarmac with stretchers as the plane touched down, local media reported.
None of the injuries are thought to be life-threatening.
The plane’s pilot Capt. Bertrand Lecocq says it was likely caused by the weekend’s massive storm which dumped record snowfall on the northeastern US.
