Over two dozen passengers were hospitalized on Wednesday night after a Delta Air Lines flight experienced ¡°significant¡± turbulence.

According to ABC News, Delta Air Lines Flight 56 was en route from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam with 275 passengers and 13 crew members onboard an Airbus A33-900 when the incident took place.

The violent turbulence forced the flight crew to call for an emergency landing at Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport, where the plane touched down safely at around 8 p.m. local time.
