Serious injuries from in-flight turbulence are rare, but scientists say they may be becoming more common as climate change alters the jet stream.

Delta Air Lines says a flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was hit by serious turbulence, injuring passengers and forcing the flight to divert to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.

Twenty-five people aboard a Delta Air Lines flight were hospitalized after the flight encountered "significant" turbulence Wednesday, the airline said.
